Soup Recipes

I was making some tomato meat sauce this evening with Contadina tomato paste and a bunch of spices and herbs. I was thinking that I could somehow make some tomato soup out of Contadina tomato paste and water and some other things. I really miss tomato soup!

Does anyone have any good soup recipes or an idea for my tomato soup. I would prefer a soup without a boxed broth b/c I have a yeast and MSG allergy and most boxed broths have these.

Also on the subject of tomato paste..Do brand make a difference. I have been buying Contadina b/c the only ingredient is tomatoes. Can't beat that! Are some thicker than others or are they pretty much all the same.

Can't really help on the soup part of the question because I never really enjoyed soups. but as far as tomato paste I have never noticed a big difference in the brands I have used when it comes to thickness, but I have noticed a big difference in acidity. Contadina isn't very acidic and I have found that Hunt's isn't either.

Man, I love making soups! Made a delicious tomato soup last week, actually. SO easy but packed with flavour. When making soups and other things one of my favourite ways to extract flavour is to roast them. I cannot imagine not roasting veg for soup, actually. All I did was split 8 Roma tomatoes lengthwise, tossed in several cloves of garlic, a quartered onion, drizzled with olive oil, sprinkled with fresh thyme and rosemary, S&P and a touch of granulated sugar and roasted in a slow oven (325) for about an hour. All you do is allow to cool for about 10 minutes then process in your food processor or blender. You can add a bit of tomato paste for more tomato flavour and some water or even tomato juice if you want to thin it out a bit. Voila! That is it. Sometimes I add lentils and such but if you want a simple tomato soup, this is it.

In addition to the cans, I like to purchase tomato paste in tubes as they are so convenient. I use tomato paste often as I make my own ketchups, barbecue sauces, rose sauces, etc.

Thanks. I have never tried Hunts. Contadina may be less acidic because it says it is made from roma tomatoes. Maybe they have less acid. There are only a few brands of tomato paste to choose from.

That sounds so good! I will have to try that for my tomato soup. I live in a tiny rural town. They don't sell tomato paste in tubes. lol! I have seen them on TV though. :lol:

I know what you mean. When we drive to the city to pick up the tubes it is a 3-hour drive so we stock up.

I hope you get a chance to try this soup! Embarassingly simple but the tomato flavour really shines, especially with Roma tomatoes as they are the best variety available in Winter (out of a meagre selection).

I moved out to the country and the pickings at the grocery stores are miserable! I was ordering a lot of stuff on that on-line store that shall not be named. I offered to try out some recipes for someone here's cookbook. I was soo embarassed, it was taking forever to locate ingredients. I don't think I helped her out at all. I was stuck substituting about half the ingredients. (can you even consider that "following" the recipe?)

I was just in the store (big midwestern chain) and bought the last 8 decent Roma tomatoes. I wanted to buy 20.

Lets keep putting together some soup recipes! God only knows if I will be able to find the ingredients, but I sure want to try.

Best to keep the choices simple for my children's palates. ;)

Don't get me started about trying to find creme fraiche! Had to drive 50 minutes one-way to get to the store to buy it. :rolleyes:

Oops - sorry! We do not have kids and I need to be more mindful of posting recipes for those who do.

My nearest creme fraiche is 3 hours away so I make my own. Very simple and far cheaper!

ohhh. that you for the home made creme fraiche tip!

I think the roasted red pepper tomato soup, potato soup could fit into my kids palate. My daughter has Eosinophilic Esophagitus too and we have an even more allergens to avoid. Oddest thing is peas!!? She has a harder time with higher proteins. :huh:

I keep a plastic container in the freezer for left-over little dabs of vegetables. Mostly I will add peas, green beans, corn, onions and tomatoes. Potatoes , asparagus and broccoli work well also. Then when I make soup, I start with a liquid such as chicken or beef or vegetable stock. Add meat if I want it and the contents of the "soup box". Makes great soup every time.

A really easy tomato soup from Martha Stewart:

This takes just a few minutes and uses very basic ingredients. (I use vegetable stock, and not chicken stock.) Highly recommended!

Also, it's really easy to make your own vegetable stock (I swear!). And also healthier, better tasting, cheaper ...

There are many tutorials online.

It has always been one of my favourites. I am so sorry you can no longer have it. <_<

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash...

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!
