About:

One of my favorite comfort dishes is tomato soup paired with a grilled cheese sandwich stuffed with cucumber and a tomato slices. This is a tomato based thick variety soup served hot. This tomato soup is low in calories with full of flavors and taste which satisfy your taste buds

Health Benefits:

Tomato soup comes packed with beneficial lycopene — a red-hued nutrient that gives the soup its color. Lycopene offers powerful antioxidant protection, which means that it seeks out and neutralizes reactive oxygen species, a type of molecule linked to the aging process.
