Tomato soup?

May 16, 2010

Hi! I wanted to try tomatoes, but can't have dairy, yogurt, and i'm avoiding

sweet vegetables because I think yeast is starting to grow - so no winter squash

or carrots if possible. Any good recipes for tomato soup that I can have out

there? Or maybe some good tomato sauce with ground turkey that I could have on

its own? no beef yet for me either

Thanks!

San Marzano tomatoes (I find them at WF) are sweet and from Italy. They are whole sometimes with basil. They are not very acidic. I just cook them down and the tomatoes eventually break up into a sauce. You can add whatever seasons tolerated.

I do not have a letter from the company and those are the only canned ones I tolerate. Some others use a different brand. These should only have tomatoes, salt and maybe basil. Sometimes I add a basket of grape or baby tomatoes to them. It makes a lot of sauce because I can only find the kind of big cans. It's the name on the can, not a brand name with San Marzano written underneath. I think it's a white can.

Other than adding a carrot or honey or yogurt to cut the acid, I don't know.

Thanks, Debbie. I didn't know people used canned tomatoes at all, it's nice to

hear that you didn't have a problem with it. Has anybody gotten a letter of

confirmation for other brands?

Yes! I was actually looking at that this morning. That would be perfect, except for two issues- i think its too early for me to try onions, but maybe since its in pureed form it would be okay...or i would throw them out before putting everything else in the FP

- i am not eating red peppers yet, so I'm not really sure how it would taste without them.
