It is still very cold in Sweden. Spring comes late in these parts of the world. And it usually last for just a couple of weeks before it goes into Summer. In the evenings I still crave something warm and comforting, just like this healthy tomato and rice soup recipe.

My goal for this lifestyle change is to consume as much as possible whole foods and this healthy tomato soup for weight loss is the example of that. So, there is no tomato passata with possible sugars in it. Instead I used just simple whole tomatoes which I pureed into a beautiful pink puree.

And because I use fresh tomatoes as the main ingredients for this best tomato soup for weight loss, the soup tastes lighter. And to eat lighter meals in the evenings is one of my goals and what I hope will become my routine going forward. When I have a light meal in the evenings it helps me fall asleep easier and rest properly during night.

Of course, instead of white rice there is brown rice in this tomato rice soup for weight loss. Which I actually prefer a little over cooked. Brown rice has stronger earthy smell which ads a lot of character to this simple tomato soup.

Also, grated potatoes add another interesting texture and help thicken this easiest tomato soup for weight loss. You can also cut them into small cubes if you prefer.

To serve, I like to keep it simple. Just a little drizzle of olive oil, some chili flakes or freshly chopped parsley is enough. This tomato potato soup for weight loss looks very elegant and inviting served this way.
