    SOUPER  TOMATO  SOUP

1 lg. can diced tomatoes
6 or more ( I used more )stalks of celery, chopped

1 14 oz. or bigger swanson's lower sodium beef broth ( any brand)
1 beef bouillon cube (or more when soup is done and you think it might need more )
1 tsp. garlic powder ( i used diced garlic from a jar and put in a
TBSP. or more )
1 TSP. black pepper or more

Chop and dice veggies. Add all ingredients into a large stock pot. Add water if necessary to bring liquids to almost twice the depth of the veggies in the pot. Bring to a boil and then stir as needed. cook on low for 2 hours or until all veggies are soft. You can add parsley or any other herbs to suit your taste. NO SALT!

A 1 cup serving should equal approx. 50 cals, cals from fat 3, total fat 0.3 G, saturated fat 0 G, cholesterol 0, sodium 472 (plus a bit more if using bigger cans of juice and 2 envelopes of dry soup ) total carbs 10.1 grams, dietary fibre 2.6 and protein 1.7
