Fire Roasted Tomato Soup


When I am cold, I like soup. When I don't feel like cooking, I like soup. When I need to clean out the veggie drawer, I like soup. When I don't have any fresh veggies, I like soup. I just pretty much like soup.

This is a really quick, healthy soup. It has an unusual flavor combination which makes it a wonderful home made treat you can't get anywhere else. The slightly sophisticated flavors are great with a simple broiled protein, like chicken or fish.

Fire Roasted Tomato Soup


This is one of the recipes included in my new cookbook project, Low Carbing Among Friends.
This recipe is available in the book, along with over 60 additional 24/7 Low Carb Diner recipes. By ordering the book, you get more than 300 favorite gluten free recipes from four other well known low carb cooking experts…Jennifer Eloff of Splendid Low Carbing cookbook fame, Kent Altena, the Atkins Diet Geek and You Tube star, nutritionist and author Maria Emmerich of Maria’s Nutritious and Delicious Journal, and popular blogger and food stylist, Carolyn Ketchum of All Day I Dream About Food. Unlike any other cookbook you may own, this one is a compilation of mini cookbooks featuring the talents of these well known low carbers. Think of it as a “best of” project.
Low Carbing Among Friends also features recipes from numerous other talented low carbing friends and recommendations from the medical community who recognize the health benefits of low carb, gluten free living. To preorder your copy, visit http://www.amongfriends.us The official release date is 11/11/11, so pre-order now for a discount.


This would be an excellent first course, and is great for a light lunch. The smoke flavor of the fire roasted tomatoes combined with the liquid smoke really adds a gourmet taste. The touch of sweetness adds depth as well, but you could leave it out and still have a great soup.

Look among your freezer favorites for proteins to go well. Meatballs would be excellent, as was my hickory chicken patty. Forgoing the cheese and cream base makes this a low calorie meal too, so what's not to love?

Oh I can't wait to try this one. One thing that I missed when starting low carb was Campbells Tomato Soup. At 18 carbs per bowl I was not about to try it. This is doable and I can't wait to try it. :)

It really doesn't taste much like the old fashioned Campbell's tomato soup, but it is good.
