Feeling that we are both coming down with a cold when I just DON’T have time for one I have been on the offensive today, making loads of high vitamin content food. Tomato soup is definitely a winner, packed full of vitamin c, a, k, lycopene, antioxidants. Adding some marmite instead of salt adds an extra vitamin b12 and b3 boost too. This is served with a delicious home made roll. Because of the amazing properties in tomatoes this soup should be great for Cystitis too.
I’ve also been munching on fresh blueberries and raspberries, dried cranberries and a selection of nuts. Theres even beetroot in our cake!
Laurel’s Kitchen is full of gorgeous soup recipes and here is a slightly changed version of the tomato soup. Changed to make it suitable for vegans and to my taste.
This was dubbed the best tomato soup ever by my partner, who is great lover of tomato soup and so should know!
6 garden tomatoes
1 punnet of cherry tomatoes
3 tbsp tomato pasata
1 onion
2 stalks of celery
1 carrot
