Are you a real soup lover, but are you currently on a low-carb diet because you have type 2 diabetes or want to lose weight? Then I wouldn't recommend eating most soups from the supermarket.
In most canned soups, potatoes are used for binding. And potatoes are not healthy if you are a diabetic.
So are you looking for a healthy low-carb soup because you are on a diet?
Then this recipe for a low-carb tomato soup without sugar is definitely recommended for you.

This soup in particular has only a few ingredients and is therefore easy to make, but it certainly doesn't taste any less.
The homemade soup is low in carbohydrates (even keto friendly) and therefore does not contain any ingredients that will make your bloodsugar spike.
You can also replace the cream in the recipe with creme fraîche. This low-carb soup is vegetarian, but if you do eat meat, you can make a low-carb tomato soup with meatballs. I recommend you to use beef.
Because you initially bake the tomatoes with the herbs in the oven, the soup will be much tastier than just boiling and puree it.
