Author Kristl Story, TheBudgetDiet.com

Ingredients

  • 16 oz. chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup fat free plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 drops of Tabasco

  1. In a large saucepan, combine Italian diced tomatoes, tomato soup and chicken broth.

  3. Cook over medium heat stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes.
  4. Put the yogurt in a small bowl and add about a half cup of the warm soup and stir until combined. (Note: this prevents the yogurt from curdling).

I am going to have to try this soup. I love tomato basil soup, and La Madeleines has the best. I have a pretty good recipe but it has heavy cream and I know that’s got to be high in calories. I never thought of using yogurt instead of cream. Going to store tomorrow adding the stuff to my list.
