Healthy, because
Tomatoes contain the cell-protecting antioxidant lycopene, which helps defend the body against free radicals caused by UV rays, smoking and environmental toxins.
Even smarter
If you have a little more time, you can prepare this soup with fresh tomatoes. Boil the tomatoes, submerge in cold water, peel the skin, then roughly cut them into small pieces.
