Hey everybody, I’m sorry it’s been so long since I updated! We went to the circus last Saturday night, and we must have sat near someone who was sick. One by one each of us has come down with some version of the same thing-sinus pressure, extreme fatigue, upset stomach. Lovely.
For lunch today, I felt like soup. I found a can of Campbell’s tomato in the pantry. Now, I used to make tomato soup by filling up with can with 2% milk or even with Half n Half, but now that I’m watching my calories, I knew I needed a lower fat option. You can make condensed soup with all water, but I like tomato to be a little creamy. The soup was one of the large family sizes, 26 ounces. I poured in exactly four ounces of fat free half n half, and the rest of the way up with water. Kaitlyn helped me stir the pot (with very close supervision so she didn’t put her hand down on the hot cooktop).
I was surprised at how creamy just that little bit of half n half made the soup taste. I like to crumble saltine crackers into mine, Kaitlyn likes to dip crackers in. I estimated that one cup of this soup was 200 calories and 1.5 grams of fat, plus 60 calories for the crackers. And it was really filling!
How do you make tomato soup?

I follow the directions on the can :)

I made some tomato soup yesterday. It was quite bland as I just used a tin of tomatoes which I blended and then warmed with some tomato ketchup and worcester sauce. I prefer it with onion and garlic blended in but I did not have time. The best thing about it was that it was less than 100 calories for the whole lot!
There is nothing healthier for stomach then a fresh, warm soup. Thanks for the tip of the week :), i like potato soup very much.

I’ve been buying the Campbell’s Classic Tomato Soup at Hand, which is only 2 Weight Watchers points each and fat-free. They also have it in lower-sodium now, but I haven’t tried that yet.
