1 Tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon dried basil

The Verdict:

We made this with grilled cheese sandwiches and green salad for dinner – the low-carb soup meant a nice big bowl for this happy Liz. I really liked the roasted red pepper flavor, too. Made the grilled cheese and tomato soup feel a bit fancier.

What do you have with your tomato soup? Any secret ingredients?
