“I have, over the years, given out my tomato-soup recipe which is a firm favourite of mine. It immediately springs to mind after a night on the town... Filled with untold goodness it promises to help you feel healthier. I know one should avoid a Bloody Mary and rather drink the virgin option. This is not only to avoid the alcohol but what example would you be setting if you added a splash of vodka to the start of your day! Tomatoes contain lycopene, an antioxidant that reduces inflammation in the body; the salt in the tomato helps retain water; and the high levels of vitamin C give the liver a boost. Feel-good spoonfuls of tomato soup are a must.”
