This month's Ultimate Recipe Challenge hosted by Kim Six Fix, was a bit bittersweet, knowing that I couldn't try any of the recipes, but I still wanted to be a part. You will see my Crockpot Spaghetti Sauce recipe on the links below, along with lots of other mouthwatering recipes.
Just when I was becoming really depressed about the whole thing, I discovered tomato powder. Tomato powder is dehydrated tomatoes that are pulverized into powder and then used in making wonderful things like this Copycat Campbell's Tomato Soup.
You can reconstitute the tomatoes to make tomato paste and tomato sauce. There are instructions on nearly every package of tomato powder on the market. I found this tomato soup recipe and modified it to make it gluten, dairy and sugar free. I hope you give it a try.
Tomato Soup (a bit like Campbell's, but more healthy!)
Tomato Soup (a bit like Campbell's, but more healthy!)
- 2/3 c almond milk
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 1/4 cup tomato powder
- 1 packets stevia (or more to taste) (for those of you who can, use brown sugar)
- 1 teaspoons salt
- Add water to a large pot and eat over high heat until almost boiling. Add tomato powder and whisk thoroughly. Turn heat down, Add stevia and salt, mix well. Add milk and heat to desired temperature. Add more stevia to taste, if needed. Garnish with coconut milk yogurt.
For someone who gets to eat Campbell's tomato soup a lot, this might seem a far cry from that beloved soup, but for those of us who cannot have tomatoes, this is a godsend! Tomato powder has a long shelf life and can be used to make sauces, Bloody Marys and other tomato based goodies.

I'm always up for a good bowl of tomato soup with a grilled cheese sandwich. I've never tried making my own before.
ReplyDeleteI have reactive arthritis (tendinitis) and one of the things that can cause a flare is anything that is tomato based.
ReplyDeleteI have always loved a cup of tomato soup with a toasted cheese sandwich. Yum.....xo Diana
You might check with your doc about tomato powder. My doc said this was a good product as it removes the acidity.
DeleteMy husband is gonna love you! This is his favorite soup of all time. He pairs it with grilled cheese :)
ReplyDeleteIf you have no sugar restrictions, use brown sugar. Start with 1 tablespoon and sweeten from there. Delish.
DeleteWhat a cool challenge! I always wonder how so many bloggers seem to have endless recipe inspiration. I think this is such a great thing to take part in in coming up with your own recipe! I will be trying some of these out!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting idea! I love tomato bisque and I bet this soup would taste creamy with the almond milk!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if this recipe would work without the stevia or any sweetener at all? I am not a fan of stevia myself.
ReplyDeleteThe tomato powder is a bit bitter. You might be able to use real cream and that might take the edge off. The best result is brown sugar. For this recipe it would take 1 T to balance the bitterness.
DeleteI love tomato soup and carrot soup also. I love all these different recipes with tomato!
