Notes
The recipe serves 3 and contains 6 net carbs per serving. Each serving is 1 cup.
- Cayenne pepper is optional if you don't like it spicy, but it helps cut down on the acidity of the tomatoes.
- Use fire-roasted tomatoes for a stronger, smoky flavor.
- Another alternative to help with the acidity is by adding a low-carb sweetener like monk fruit sweetener, stevia, or allulose.
- If you don't want to use a regular blender, you can use an immersion blender instead to blend your soup.
- You can also coarsely blend the soup to make it chunkier if that's what you prefer.
- For more creaminess, add some cream cheese or a dollop of sour cream.
