FAQ's
Is Tomato Soup Good For Losing Weight?
Homemade tomato soup is the best tomato soup for weight loss. Provided it's an easy low calorie healthy recipe like this healthy tomato soup recipe, one that doesn't contain any cream / heavy cream and is made with simple ingredients and nothing unnecessary. Then it can help to support weight loss and reduce calorie intake as part of an active lifestyle.
How Do You Thin Out Tomato Soup?
If your soup is too thick then stir in a little bit more stock or hot water until your delicious soup reaches the perfect soup consistency and creamy texture you want.
Do You Put Milk Or Water In Tomato Soup?
In this soup recipe I haven't added any extra water or milk. I like the taste of the acidity of the tomatoes. But if you want to alter the soup taste to your own preference you can add either. Adding milk will alter the calorie content though.
How Do You Thicken Up Tomato Soup?
To thicken this soup I used corn flour. You could use corn starch too. Just stir in a little bit more of this whilst the soup is simmering to reach your desired consistency.
