Tomato Soup with a blend of potato, garlic, Onion, bay leaf in a simple home made way. It can be served with garlic bread or bread toasted to make it a healthy evening meal. This recipe has been inspired by a friend of mine (Anupama Sharma). We had a movie time together with kids when we had this delicious soup and it was really a nice experience. Coming to the nutritional part, Tomato has always been a good choice for lowering BP as it has fibre, potassium and Vit C. For weight-losers, its an ideal choice. Coupling it with Potato makes the best combination to add more fibre and reduce Cholesterol. Just remember to cook it without fat.
