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. <_<

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here. I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem...

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
