Sometimes a failure leads me to a success. On the other day I made Carrot Soup without butter and cream because my daughter doesn’t want to eat them. The soup was not as nice as the one with butter and cream. Then I thought that tomato flavour would make the healthy version of carrot soup taste better. Bingo! Some people don’t like Tomato Soup because its souness. Try this one. It’s mild, milky and refreshiing.

Tinned Tomatoes 1 (*400g tin)
Water 1/2 cup *use to rinse the tin as well

Method

2. Add Tomatoes and Water, bring to the boil. Cook over low heat until vegetables are tender.
3. Add Milk, then blend by hand blender or mixer until smooth and silky.
4. Reheat gently. Season with Salt & White Pepper if desired.
