Tomato soup: Health risks and who should avoid it

Many love tomato soup. Unfortunately, some need to limit their consumption. It's now known who should not eat tomato soup too often.

Tomato soup is one of the most popular dishes in many homes, cherished by both children and adults. Its delicate, slightly tangy taste with a hint of sweetness makes it a popular choice for everyday dinner.

Prepared with fresh tomatoes, purées, or concentrates, this soup can take various forms—from creamy, smooth versions to more traditional ones with added rice or pasta. Thanks to its versatility, it can be adjusted to suit the taste preferences of almost any gourmet.

A well-chosen broth, which gives tomato soup its depth and intensity, is an essential element of its flavor. Depending on preference, this can be a vegetable, meat, or poultry broth.

Fresh herbs such as basil, thyme, or parsley add aroma and flavor to tomato soup. Many people also like to enhance its flavor with cream, giving it a creamy consistency and a milder character.

People with kidney problems should avoid tomato soup too often. Tomatoes contain a lot of potassium, which makes them diuretic and lowers blood pressure.

People suffering from histamine intolerance and Hashimoto's disease should also be cautious with tomato soup. Allergy to tomatoes is also an issue. You also need to be careful with tomato soup if you have digestive system problems.

Those who struggle with acid reflux should also limit tomatoes in their diet. Tomato soup is also not recommended for stomach ulcers.
