]]> Making tomato soup from scratch usually requires a lot of effort, which is why most people prefer to either order it at a restaurant or get the canned version. However, there is an even easier way to enjoy a bowl of comforting tomato soup and you don’t even have to leave your home for that. TikTok food creators have come up with a recipe that allows you to make tomato soup in a few minutes using just three ingredients.

How to Make 3-Ingredient Tomato Soup

There are several variations of three-ingredient tomato soup, but the one we liked the best comes from Irick Wiggins.

To start things off, Wiggins combines one cup of marinara sauce with 1/3 cup of cream (or milk) and 1/3 cup of broth. He then mixes it and microwaves it for three minutes. That is it.

Wiggins’ video with the three-ingredient tomato soup got a lot of attention on TikTok, receiving 17K likes and mostly positive reactions.

@iricksnacks

Say “YUM” if you would eat this 3-Ingredient Tomato Soup 🍅🥣🤤 To make it: Mix 1 cup marinara sauce, 1/3 cup cream (or milk) and 1/3 cup broth. Heat until warm. I microwaved it for 3 minutes & enjoy 👌 Pro tip: Blend everything together for the best consistency For the quesadilla I just took a low carb tortilla and fried it in butter with American cheese in the middle 😋

There is also a version from @jen.heffer, who uses the same ingredients but combines them in a pot using an immersion blender and heats the soup on a stove. She also recommends adding some seasoning to the soup, including garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper.

@jen.heffer

3 ingredient tomato soup! (Long caption) If you’re ever wanting a grilled cheese with tomato soup but arent wanting canned tomato soup or to spend over an hour in the kitchen for homemade tomato soup, i HIGHLY recommend getting your favorite jarred tomato sauce, some chicken broth (or you can do water with chicken bullion, thats what i did!) & heavy cream (or milk) then blend it, (if you dont have an immersion blender, you can all everything to a regular blender first, then add to the pot) of course season to your liking! I added in roasted garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, Tony’s & a tad bit of my favvv (ranch seasoning lol) This can also be a very cheap dinner for those needing it! My favorite jarred sauce at Walmart is less than 2$ the bread i got from walmart was 1$ (next time i make this, I’ll be using the cheese singles, which are much cheaper than the cheeses i used today!) if you dont have chicken broth or chicken bullion on hand, you can hust use water! Realistically you dont need water, but i prefer tomato soup to not be so thick! & the heavy whipping cream is completely optional as it is the most expensive item. Can be replaced with milk if youre wanting it to be creamy! Hope that helps anyone who needs a cheap meal for themselves or their family! 🫶🏼

]]> One of the best things about eggs is their incredible versatility, and poached eggs are one of the most delicious varieties. Making them on your own is a delicate science, and if you still haven’t mastered it, we’re here with all the tips and tricks you’ll need to make the poached eggs of your dreams.

Fresh Eggs

Using fresh eggs is a must when you’re making poached eggs because they’ll hold their shape better. It’s also a good idea to use room-temperature eggs because they’ll poach better than the ones taken straight from the fridge.

Use Vinegar

Many recipes for poached eggs call for vinegar, and that’s not a coincidence. It will help the egg whites cook faster and prevent them from spreading while also helping the egg maintain its form.

Smaller Bowl

You can also help the eggs keep their shape by cracking them into a small bowl before transferring them into hot water.

Water Tips

You should give water some time to start boiling before lowering the eggs inside because they could break apart in boiling water. It’s also a good idea to use a spoon to stir the water a few times before dropping the eggs inside.

Cooking Time

There’s no exact cooking time you should stick to when cooking poached eggs, but three minutes is usually all it takes if you prefer soft runny eggs.

]]> Peanut butter is one of the most delicious spreads on the market, and if you still haven’t found your favorite brand – now’s the time! With countless options to choose from, it’s easy to get overwhelmed, so we’re here to help you pick the healthiest and tastiest peanut butter possible.

Check the Label

Peanut butter often gets a bad rap because it’s packed with calories, sugar, and sodium, but it can also be a great source of protein and unsaturated fats. It all comes down to finding the right balance, so it’s a good idea to check the label before buying peanut butter and opt for one with added protein and fiber and lower calorie count.

Crunchy vs. Creamy

There’s not much difference between crunchy and creamy peanut butter when it comes to their nutritional value. It all comes down to your personal preference, so go with the texture that suits your taste.

Make Your Own

Making your own peanut butter is also an option because you’ll be in control of all the ingredients being used. If you’re struggling to find a brand that ticks all the boxes in terms of flavor and nutritional value, it’s time to come up with your own go-to peanut butter recipe.

]]> Hotel stays come with a long list of perks, and a breakfast buffet is one of the very best. You’ll probably be paying extra for this amenity, so it’s important to make the best of it – and our tips and tricks will help you enjoy the first meal of the day to the fullest.

Early Bird

Sleeping in isn’t an option if you want to make the best of your hotel breakfast. Getting there early is the best way to avoid the crowds and have the best choice of fresh foods.

Switch Things Up

If you’re staying at the same hotel for a longer period of time, try switching things up every day and trying different foods so you wouldn’t eat the same breakfast every morning.

Perfect Balance

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day so it’s important to make it as healthy and nutritious as possible, especially during your travels. Try to add some protein and fiber to your menu by loading up your plate with eggs, fruits, veggies, and yogurt.

Local Treats

If there are any traditional treats served during your breakfast, make sure to give them a shot. This is a great way to try local cuisine without spending a fortune.

Snacks For Later

Most people take a snack or two from their breakfast table for later, and you should do the same if it’s not strictly forbidden.

]]> Hotel stays come with a long list of perks, and a breakfast buffet is one of the very best. You’ll probably be paying extra for this amenity, so it’s important to make the best of it – and our tips and tricks will help you enjoy the first meal of the day to the fullest.

Early Bird

Sleeping in isn’t an option if you want to make the best of your hotel breakfast. Getting there early is the best way to avoid the crowds and have the best choice of fresh foods.

Switch Things Up

If you’re staying at the same hotel for a longer period of time, try switching things up every day and trying different foods so you wouldn’t eat the same breakfast every morning.

Perfect Balance

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day so it’s important to make it as healthy and nutritious as possible, especially during your travels. Try to add some protein and fiber to your menu by loading up your plate with eggs, fruits, veggies, and yogurt.

Local Treats

If there are any traditional treats served during your breakfast, make sure to give them a shot. This is a great way to try local cuisine without spending a fortune.

Snacks For Later

Most people take a snack or two from their breakfast table for later, and you should do the same if it’s not strictly forbidden.
