Happy 2023! It’s been a hot minute since I have been able to publish a recipe but today I finally managed to make some low carb tomato soup!

It’s been a bit of a rough end to 2022, money wise. The stove broke, had to get a new one, then my year old MacBook pro broke and took all my pictures, videos, templates, etc with it. So bare with me as I get used to this new computer, new software. Im working on it!

Now let’s talk tomato soup. I love a good tomato soup. Especially when it is cheesy and full of flavour – none of that Campbell’s nonsense.

One suggestion I have is to make this several hours or at least a day ahead of time. It tastes good right off the stove but it tastes even better when the flavours have time to settle in. I made this on a Saturday and am enjoying it for dinner on a Sunday.

One important note is that when you get the crushed tomatoes, to make sure it has no sugar added. Usually they don’t but I think a few brands do add a little sugar. As for making this low carb tomato soup – it’s super simple and made in one pot. All you have to do is throw the ingredients into a pot, blend using an immersion blender and voila – it’s done!

Hope you all enjoy this delicious soup. Make sure to check out my keto cauliflower soup, hot and sour soup and egg drop soup!
