This year I decided to celebrate my birthday on my blog with a savory, healthy recipe. Plus, since my birthday is the day before Christmas, I thought this red and green soup was the perfect thing to post!Right now, we are on day 4 of our DisneyWorld Christmas Trip and I am sure it has been very fun (I am posting this ahead of time- no computer for me on our trip!)
Yesterday was my hubby's b-day and today is mine, so we get 2 days of free admittance to DisneyWorld.
I made this soup when my sister was here for Thanksgiving Break because my hubby hates tomatoes and I knew if she was here with me, I would have at least one other person that would eat it and love it.
The soup is a basic tomato soup without any cream or anything, so it is really healthy.
I added more stock, to get it to the right consistency of soup-i-ness for us.
I actually had 2 kids who really liked this one and I loved it!
The broccolini in the soup added a really great flavor.
I made extra broccolini so that even those people who think tomatoes are poisonous, could enjoy the yummy green stalks.
So give it a try, if you aren't scared of tomatoes. It makes great leftovers too.
I am going to go get on a roller coaster to celebrate my birthday!

Happy Birthday. My daughter's birthday is the 25th but she didn't get this great soup. In all fairness, she asked for chicken soup and she got it with lots of pieces of chicken, floating around.
ReplyDeleteI love tomatoes. Can't imagine them not being liked. I am the lucky one. I can make your soup. It looks like a treat. I think it will stand up to chocolate cupcakes.
I had better print it now so I can make it.
Happy Birthday to your hubby also and enjoy your trip.
What a fun time of year for your family! Happy Belated, Merry Christmas! And the soup looks and sounds de-lish to me!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! A lovely soup. I amazed at the number of people who don't like tomatoes. Thank heaven everyone in my family likes them.
ReplyDeleteAnd belated Happy Birthday!
I bet Disney was a zoo this time of year...I did it once at Christmas, but never again.
That looks really good. Tomato soup is one of the few Brianna will eat. I hope you had a fabulous birthday at Disney!

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Mary Ann! That soup looks delicious, in spite of being so good for you. I hope you're enjoying your vacation!
