“AO” Creamy Tomato Soup

This is a great spin off the traditional high sodium, msg filled and nutrient starved tomato soups we get out of a can. Plus this one is full of protein, fiber and Licopene, which has been shown to not only prevent the risk of cancer due to its antioxidant,”AO”, properties but has shown effective on men who have already been diagnosed with prostate cancer. This recipe is was inspired by Ann Barnes Tomato ‘Kreem” Soup.
