Does anyone have a recipe for tomato soup (preferably roasted) that fits into cycle 1? Anything from the store is loaded with salt and sugar. This would be a comforting food to help me this winter. I could try throwing something together myself (roasted tomatoes, chicken broth, olive oil, Splenda, etc.) but would rather have a proven recipe. I would greatly appreciate a little help. Thanks!

Here is one that I made up.  It is quick to whip up and very yummy!

Spicy V8 Tomato Soup

46 oz. bottle of Hot and Spicy V8

1 can Hunt’s diced tomatoes w/green pepper, celery & onion

1 tsp. minced garlic

1 Tbsp. dried basil

1 Tbsp. chopped dried onion

1 tsp. Better Than Bullion Chicken (jar)

Heat in saucepan.  Use stick blender to make mixture smooth.

Thank you. I’m not a real fan of spicy, but I can probably modify this to my taste. I’m still looking for a roasted tomato soup if anyone has one that fits in cycle 1. It’s really nice that people like yourself take the time to post to help others on their journey! Thanks again!

Just use regular V8 if you don’t like spicy and a can of roasted tomaotes instead of diced tomatoes.

So is it okay to drink V-8 juice on Cycle 1?

Thank you!

This recipe was posted by “weezi” I came across it last week and planned on trying it soon. In a pinch last week I bought a can of organic diced roasted tomatoes. I added chopped garlic, chopped green onion, chicken stock, basil, salt and pepper. Gave it a quick whirl in the food processor thenI brought it to a boil then simmered for about 20 minutes. I found it very tasty. Definitely nevery going back to “canned” tomato soup. Hope this is what you were looking for.

Roast 3 lbs roma tomatoes w/2 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper to taste

roast for 45 mins 400 degree oven

Saute:: 1 1/2 c onion chopped

Bring to a boil-then lower heat simmer 45 mins adjust your seasonings—-then put in food procsser or blender until smooth

This is a wonderful soup, makes 4 qts this can even be frozen

I wonder if low sodium v-8 would be a better choice for the recipe (add spices if you need the spiciness) I’ve noticed v-8 has a lot of sodium = water retention.:(
