Beefy Tomato Macaroni Soup Recipe with a Review for Pomi Tomatoes!

Both my daughter and I are huge fans of tomatoes! We love them fresh and canned, basically any way we can eat them! I was recently contacted by Pomi Tomatoes and was offered some samples of their products to try. Their tomatoes are packaged in stay-fresh, BPA-free cartons and are 100% natural! No additives or preservatives—just straight-up tomatoes! I couldn’t wait to try them and knew they would be a great product for our family! The Pomi Chopped Tomatoes are like diced tomatoes in other brands and the Strained Tomatoes were more like a thick tomato sauce! I always love tomatoes and soup, so I decided to throw together some of this Beefy Tomato Macaroni Soup! This soup has a unique flavor and tastes so fresh from using the Pomi tomatoes! It is a thicker soup… almost a stoup” as Rachael Ray always said on 30 minute meals. My daughter and I loved it. It is just so hearty and filling. Perfect for warming you up on a cold winter day. Pomi Tomatoes are definitely a product we will be using again. You can tell there is a huge difference in flavor compared to canned tomatoes and I just love the great benefits that they offer! They are a perfect addition to a clean eating diet if you’re not able to use fresh tomatoes.
