Honour tomato season by making a huge batch of tomato soup. Enjoy some for dinner and freeze the rest for those really chilly winter days. Our recipe is naturally gluten-free, paleo, vegetarian and dairy-free.
We added some No Yolking™ – 100 % Egg White Protein Powder, which gives the soup a nice creamy texture without the cream! It also helps to balance blood sugar levels and will keep you feeling full longer.
