Chilled Tomato Soup

Tomatoes are rich in not just one vitamin but three. Vitamins A, B and C can be found in tomatoes as well as beta-carotene, fiber and anti-oxidants. Tomatoes lower cholesterol levels which lowers the risk of chronic heart disease, and they also promote healthy skin.Another plus for the tomato is its versatility. Tomatoes can be enjoyed so many ways. Even if a person doesn’t like to eat tomatoes raw,  they still like as tomato sauces and enjoy pizza, spaghetti or even tomato juice.Tomatoes are full of the nutrient, Lycopene,a vital anti-oxidant that helps guard against breast, prostate, pancreatic, intestinal and other cancer...Here is my chilled tomato soup which needs hardly few minutes to prepare with simple ingredients...this chilled tomato soup goes to No Croutons Required by Holler of Tinned Tomatoes..Holler has asked all the participants to come up with a birthday menu for their entry for April..its quite fun and i enjoyed preparing my birthday menu..Holler this is for u!!
