Tomato Soup
(Thanks again to the lovely WW people for the recipe. Slightly adjusted recipe to make it more Dukan-friendly.)

Serves 4

1 large onion, chopped
2 celery sticks, chopped
1-2 garlic cloves, crushed
450ml hot vegetable stock
1 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
2 tblsp tomato purée
1 tblsp dried mixed herbs
1 tsp sweetener
1 tsp cornflour

To serve: 4 tblsp fat-free fromage frais

Put onion, celery and garlic in large saucepan and pour in stock. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat. Simmer for 5 mins. Add chopped tomatoes, tomato purée, dried herbs and sweetener. Bring to boil and reduce heat. Simmer for 5 mins.

Liquidise soup in batches with blender and return to the pan. Blend cornflour with a little cold water and stir in.

Reheat gently, stirring until soup thickens. Cook for another minute or two.

Serve with a tablespoonful of fromage frais in each dish.

Yum - and I imagine it would still work without the cornflour

Yes, I'm sure it would. The recipe originally stated 1 tblsp, which I reduced to 1 tsp, so I don't think cutting it out completely would make too much of a difference. Blending the tomato, celery and onion would help to thicken it a little, and you could always leave it a little chunky for the texture if you prefer.

I'm glad it worked out for you, Nicole, especially with your poorly gums after the wisdom teeth extraction.
