    Cream of Tomato Soup

    The carb count on this is a little high, about 9-10 per serving, but it is very rich and comforting.

    2 28 oz cans of peeled whole tomatoes packed in tomato juice
    1/4 cup chopped shallots
    2 cups tomato juice
    2 cups chicken stock
    1/2 cup heavy cream

    Drain the tomatoes, saving the tomato juice. Seed the tomatoes and lay flat on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and roast in the oven until they start to darken.
    Saute the shallots in butter/ olive oil until clear. Add tomato juice and chicken stock and bring to a simmer.
    When the roasted tomatoes are ready, scrap into the juice/stock mixture. I deglaze the roasting pan with a little of the liquid and add to the pot.

    Let simmer until the tomatoes have absorbed some of the liquid. Either using a blender or a hand held blender, mix until smooth. Add the cream and stir in right before serving.

    Linda, thanks for the recipes. They sound great. I have already made the broccoli cheese soup and I can tell you it is delicious. Have made it several times. Mmm Mmm good :o)

    Also, wanted to tell you I tried black soy beans and they really are very good. Especially if you make chili or seasoned soups with them. They only have 1 net. carb in a half a cup. So maybe they would help you when you are having a craving for beans. Give them a try.
