This recipe is so easy, even a complete beginner cook could prepare this! It’s such a delicious soup that you will never want to buy canned soup again…
If you don’t have any tomato juice on hand you can use about 20 oz of tomato sauce and 3/4 cup of water.

I love it! It’s easy to make but it doesn’t look like that, so it’s good to serve for some friends, but I will definetely make this for myself as well!

Soup, my favourite thing in the world. Soup can be so healthy, its heavily underrated for diet eating. Nothing can beat a large wedge of tiger loaf on the side (maybe no so healthy, but absolutely essential!)

Tomato soup is great for health, it makes our immunity system strong and increase appetite and the best part it is the best soup to have.
