Easy Tomato Soup With a Twist

on
Soups are the easiest way to make sure my little munchkin get her daily dose of vegetables. With her busy timetable, filled with playing and exploring, sitting at the dinner table is really just a chore for her. Therefore, I had to get creative and condense as many vitamins into my cooking as possible, so even with a few spoonfuls she can get all the essential nutrients she needs.
I don't often cook soups and it's such a shame because they are nutritious and this Easy Tomato Soup is my new favourite.
