This easy tomato soup recipe is also a weight loss soup
This easy tomato soup recipe makes a very healthy and slimming soup.
I will have this often if I am trying to lose some weight. You get good proteins from the lean pork, egg and tofu. Vitamins and minerals from the tomato and spring onion.
It is a clear broth with no hidden fats and you can also control how much salt to add since excess salt can cause fluid retention.
