Nothing like a bowl of creamy tomato soup and fresh bread to warm up your body and soothe your soul during chilly winter months! And this soup gets better by the bite because it is dense with immune-boosting and cancer-fighting ingredients.
Tomatoes are filled with Lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that eliminates damaging free radicals, decreases insulin-growth-factor, reduces inflammation, and can prevent breast cancer cell growth. You can also take Lycopene [1] in capsule form and buy it directly from the Breast Cancer Conqueror Store [1]. Sweet potatoes also add a creamy, delicious texture and are loaded with major health benefits! There are too many to name here, but you can learn all the sweet details via this blog post. [2]
I also apply the “clean out your fridge” approach to my tomato soup recipe. Cook up and dump in whatever vegetables you have and make it in a big enough pot to last several meals.
