Feeling a bit cold this winter season? Tempted to run to those high carbohydrate foods to comfort yourself? Maybe what you need is a warm bowl of soup :) I discovered a yummy recipe this week: Tomato soup. Find the recipe here: http://www.food.com/recipe/kittencals-thick-and-rich-creamy-tomato-soup-low-fat-option-350894. Homemade soups are generally better for you because they have fresher nutrients and less sodium.
A few tips: If you're not a huge tomato fan, add more milk or 1/4 cup cheese. This will tone down the intense flavor. I added some chopped spinach as well. It's not super flavorful and is a good way to add extra nutrients to the meal. If you're a simplistic cook like me, don't worry about adding all the extra spices. Normal pepper works fine. Use half the amount of butter suggested by the recipe (just enough to lightly saute the onions). Also, no tomato soup is complete without some crushed crackers (whole grain is best) or a grilled cheese sandwich. Enjoy!
