Tomato Soup
Jump to Recipe
I created this recipe while trying to lose weight, but still wanting to have a tasty, filling, light and healthy dinner. I sometimes add a half cup of coconut milk for a richer, creamier texture, especially when serving it as a side with a sandwich or wrap.
Try this with my Chickpea Tuna Wrap!
