This fire roasted tomato soup blends so many flavors together to make a surprisingly delicious hot soup. The secret ingredients to this one are fire roasted tomatoes and red peppers. Of course without the tasty goodness of cream cheese and half and half, and not to mention the various spices, the taste would not be the same.

This soup is a bit higher in fats and WW points than others, but the taste is well worth dipping into your allowance.

Below are the list of ingredients, directions, recipe nutrition information and Weight Watchers points.



Fire Roasted Tomato Soup

This recipe is my husband's creation after we had some tremendous soup on dinner out with friends. Because they wouldn't share their recipe he created his own version of the fire roasted tomato soup...and I have to give him kudos because it's so close. In fact, I think his is better.
