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.

      Vaccines

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      If you have poor reactions to vaccines, preservatives, sugar alcohols and metals, you may be deficient in Thiamine Vitamin B1.  Thiamine is needed in the immune response and production of antibodies.  Thiamine can be depleted by vaccines if you are already low to begin with due to the Malabsorption of Celiac Disease.  Thiamine can be destroyed by sulfide preservatives in vaccines, which can result in the body's poor response to vaccines.  Thiamine also chelates metals which allows those metals to be removed in the feces.  Chelation removes thiamine from the body, resulting in a state of thiamine deficiency.  Sugar alcohols need to be processed through the liver using thiamine.  Again, if you're low in thiamine as many Celiac are because of the Malabsorption of celiac disease, vaccines can be a tipping point, resulting in a thiamine deficient state. High doses of Thiamine required to correct thiamine deficiency states are safe and nontoxic.  Thiamine has no toxicity level.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins need to be taken together because they interact together to sustain health.   References: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25542071/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Pasballard, Keep in mind those gluten free processed snacks are not required to have vitamins and minerals added to them to replace vitamins lost in processing like gluten containing products.   We need the eight essential B vitamins to turn those carbs into energy to fuel our bodies and make enzymes that sustain life.  Sudden weight gain (or weight loss) can be symptomatic of Thiamine Vitamin B1 deficiency.  Thiamine is the B vitamin with the shortest storage time, and so  thiamine deficiency shows up first with vague symptoms like weight gain or loss, fatigue, not sleeping well, achy or cramping muscles, digestive issues and headaches.   Taking vitamin and mineral supplements helps boost your body's ability to absorb these nutrients which keeps our bodies healthy.  B Complex vitamins and Vitamin D (which regulates inflammation) are usually low in people with Celiac disease.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing.

      Contradicting length of time for gluten challenge - please help to ensure not getting false negative. Thank you!

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @WildFlower1, Here's an article that explains about the updated gluten challenge guidelines.  Be sure to read the comments below the article. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Low iron can affect antibody production, causing false negatives on antibody testing.  Do you currently struggle with low iron?   Low Vitamin D can cause amenorrhea, cessation of menstrual periods.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies is a big part of Celiac disease.  We don't absorb well the eight essential B vitamins and other vitamins and minerals like calcium, resulting in osteopenia, hair loss, infertility, and neurological symptoms.  Unfortunately, doctors are not given much training in nutritional deficiencies and don't recognize the connection with the malabsorption of Celiac disease. We get very frustrated here with doctors ordering us to put a harmful substance in our bodies in order for them to say "that makes you sick".   Duh, we know that already. Do try to increase your consumption of gluten for at least two weeks before retesting.  Eat the chewy kinds of breads.  Cookies and cakes don't have as much gluten in them as those chewy artisan breads and thick pizza crusts. I admire your tenacity at continuing the gluten challenge.  Do keep us posted on your progress.  We'll continue to support you on your journey to diagnosis and recovery.

      I would continue with your gluten challenge for another 2-3 weeks with the increased intake of gluten as outlined above.  You now say if you were confirmed to have celiac disease you would be even more strict about avoiding cross-contamination whereas in your first post you said, "Previously for many years 10+ I have been on a strict gluten free diet." Those statements seem to contradict one another. The celiac community as a whole understands that to be "on a strict gluten free diet" necessarily involves significant attention to cross-contamination. If you have not been strict with regard to CC up to now, it is difficult to say how that may have compromised your recovery and contributed to ongoing symptoms. Yet, even a significant reduction that falls short of gluten free can yield negative test results.

      Thanks for your response! Yes, you’re correct that many of my symptoms improved when I went gluten-free, but issues like bone loss, infertility, hair loss, etc., seem to be the ones that haven’t responded. I’ve been on the gluten challenge for almost 7 weeks now, and I’m wondering how long I should continue it before testing again and making a final decision. I understand the benefits of eating gluten-free long-term, but I’m unsure how much longer to stick with the challenge to avoid another false negative celiac blood test.   What I would do differently if the test were confirmed positive is I’d receive a small amount of government help with gluten-free foods as a confirmed celiac. Doctors would be able to rule out further exhaustive testing. I’d also become even more strict about avoiding cross-contamination (for example, when eating at someone’s house, they may say something is safe, but it could have been cross-contaminated with gluten, or when going out to restaurants, they might say it’s fine, but it really isn’t). So, I would be extremely strict with cross-contamination if I were 100% confirmed as celiac, even though I’ve tried to be over the years but still seem to get sick.   Any advice on how long is typically recommended to continue the gluten challenge to avoid a false negative on the celiac blood test would be greatly appreciated!
