Why this works
Moderate in calories and fat, but likely quite salty due to the tomato sauce and pickles.
Tomatoes provide antioxidant compounds. Tomato sauce contributes lycopene, which is associated with antioxidant activity and is better absorbed when cooked with oil.
Contains calcium and protein from milk. The milk adds some protein and calcium, supporting bone health, though the amount per serving is modest.
Pickles increase sodium significantly. Pickles can make this soup high in salt, which may be a concern for blood pressure if eaten often.
Method
- Warm the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the tomato sauce and milk, then simmer gently until hot and smooth.
- Stir in the finely chopped pickles and cook for 2 minutes more.
- Blend if you prefer a smoother texture, then serve hot.
