What Do Tomatoes Help You With?
Tomatoes are low in calories, very low in fat, and have zero cholesterol. They are excellent sources of antioxidants, dietary fiber, minerals, and vitamins. The antioxidants in tomatoes fight cancers, including colon, prostate, breast, endometrial, lung, and pancreatic tumors. Tomatoes, especially red tomatoes, are high in lycopene, an antioxidant. Together with other carotenoids, lycopene protects cells and other structures in the body from free radicals. Lycopene also prevents skin damage from ultra-violet rays and offers protection from skin cancer. Zeaxanthin is another carotenoid compound present abundantly in this vegetable. Zeaxanthin helps protect eyes from age-related macular disease (ARMD) by filtering harmful ultra-violet rays. Tomatoes contain very good levels of vitamin A, and carotenoid anti-oxidants such as alpha- and beta-carotenes, xanthins, and lutein. These pigment compounds are antioxidants that help maintain vision, mucus membranes, skin, and bones. Carotenoids also protect you from lung and oral cavity cancers. Tomatoes are also a good source of antioxidant vitamin C, which helps the body resist infection and destroy harmful free radicals. Fresh tomatoes are very rich in potassium and low in sodium.

There are many ways to prepare a cream of mushroom soup. The first obvious ingredient is mushrooms and there are many varieties of mushrooms available at various prices from canned mushrooms to gourmet mushrooms such as shiitake, cremini and others. They should all work. You need to chop them up or just use a can of inexpensive mushroom stems and pieces.
As a soup you need a liquid. You can use an already prepared broth (soup), or plain water. Some recipes use melted butter, a wine, heavy cream, milk, etc.
To make a cream soup, you need a thickening agent. You can use a flour or starch (cornstarch, arrowroot, tapioca) or whatever else works. Remember to mix well the starch with room temperature water before adding to hot liquid. Otherwise the starch will not dissolve but will form clumps that are unappetizing and will feel "yuki" in your mouth.
Other common ingredients to add flavor are chopped vegetables, onions, garlic, peppers, salt. If it were canned mushroom soup, there would also be sugar or corn syrup.
