Tomato soup is one of the most popular dishes in numerous homes, loved by both children and adults. Its delicate, slightly tangy taste with a hint of sweetness makes it a popular choice for a daily dinner.

Prepared on the basis of fresh tomatoes, purées, or concentrate, this soup can take many forms—from creamy, smooth versions to more traditional ones with the addition of rice or pasta. Thanks to its versatility, it can be adjusted to suit the tastes of almost any gourmet.

A well-chosen broth is an essential element of the taste of tomato soup, giving it depth and intensity. Depending on preferences, the broth can be vegetable, meat, or poultry stock.

The soup is complemented by fresh herbs such as basil, thyme, or parsley, which add aroma. Many people also like to enrich the taste of tomato soup with cream, which gives it a creamy consistency and a milder character.

Having these problems? Avoid tomato soup

Tomato soup should not be consumed too often by those with kidney problems. Tomatoes contain a lot of potassium, which makes them diuretic and lowers blood pressure.

People who suffer from histamine intolerance and Hashimoto's disease should also beware of tomato soup. Tomato allergy also poses a problem. You should be careful with tomato soup if you have digestive system issues.

Tomatoes should also be limited in the diet of those who struggle with stomach reflux. Tomato soup is also not recommended for stomach ulcers.
