Tomato soup is a classic that never goes out of style. And, although tomatoes have a minimal amount of carbs, they are the only ingredient in this soup that contains anything worth mentioning.
This low carb recipe makes this traditional soup super creamy and rich with the addition of cream cheese and butter! I don’t see how you could possibly go wrong with that.
A FEW TIPS AND SUBSTITUTION SUGGESTIONS
You can substitute heavy whipping cream for the cream cheese (this is a popular low carb soup ingredient), but I’ve found that cream cheese gives it an ultra rich flavor and texture.
Also, if you don’t have fresh ingredients on hand, you can also used dried basil and canned tomato puree. Bouillon cubes and water are also a good replacement for the chicken broth.
Don’t blame the butter for what the bread did! 🙂
