Directions
Theresa’s Double Tomato Soup, Found this in Cooking Light (March 2007) Magazine This recipe was a finalist for Side Dish Category in the Cooking Light Ultimate Reader Recipe Contest I made this because I had all the ingredients on hand (except for the basil, its winter after all!) Delicious and easy! AND its good for you, taste like there is cream in this soup, not a drop, that is guilt-free perfection!!, This soup is good Very thick but smooth My husband and I were thinking 3 stars because it’s not very salty and we are used to saltier soups But I had seconds because it is good The leftovers – the second day soup is definitely a 5 star soup I didn’t feel the need to add any salt to it It’s perfect The only thing I did differently was use 1/2 teaspoon baking soda while it cooked This is a trick I picked up – it cuts the acidity without having to add milk or cream to the soup
