The other day I made some tomato soup for weight loss using the basics of a recipe I have used before and adding things I needed to use up! I was pleasantly surprised as it was really nice so I was glad I made loads of it! It was really popular on my social media.

I have been asked a few times how I made it so I thought I should type it up and share this recipe. I don’t want to mention brand names but it is a rich one like you would get in a carton rather than a tinned tomato soup type taste and texture in my opinion.
