Tomato Soup for the Raw Soul.  If you can find yellow tomatoes to make this with it will be all the tastier.  Yellow tomatoes also have tetra-cis lycopene which is more easily absorbed.  This is why it is often recommended to cook red tomatoes because that creates a cis bend in the lycopene molecules.  The lycopene that we do not absorb positively affects the digestive bacteria.  Lycopene that feeds the microbiome can counteract obesity and even improve liver health, see the study at the end of this recipe.
