One of my fondest memories of childhood was coming home on a cold winter's afternoon and plopping in front of the TV to watch my favourite childhood shows (while keeping myself warm in front of our kerosene heater!).
But not only did I love to sit there indulging in these programs, but I also really enjoyed a nice big bowl of Campbell's tinned tomato soup with some buttered toast! (maybe that's what gave me gut issues, to begin with, ha ha ha! ;)
But recently I discovered how to recreate this delicious soup which I so enjoyed as a kid...
It tastes almost identical but even better! Better because it tastes real and not reconstituted and better because it's made from the best and freshest ingredients. I know exactly what goes into this one and it makes my tummy happy knowing there are no preservatives or any other additives or extras that upset my gut.
Having a sensitive gut can be a challenge that's for sure and I am still learning how to heal it 100% so when I create a recipe that's not only delicious but also nutritious and nourishing, I naturally want to share it with the world!
So if you love tomato soup or you loved tinned soup as a child too, gut issues or no gut issues you are going to LOVE today's recipe I am so sure! :)
So without further ado, here is the recipe...
Note: I say gut-loving, which is my way of saying gut-healing, oh and I have a soup eBook coming out soon with a bunch of gut-loving soup recipes. There are even a few keto-friendly ones in there too (such as this one).
