I tried to decipher its' direct source without coming to any conclusion, but I think it's a by- product of turmeric. If any of you know or find out, please post it.
Also, a recent newspaper article listed several herbs that were considered to be anti-inflammatory. They included cayenne pepper, curry, ginger, rosemary (I think) and turmeric. They're supposed to 'warm' the joints and relieve symptoms of arthritis. I know I sweated after eating the soup. I can only imagine that my joints got warm, too. :lol: Whether it helps or not, it certainly can't hurt.

:roll: I have tried two of the recipes for the soup but the milk curdles. What am I doing wrong? Or not doing? I put all the ingredients in the pot at the same time and I'll bet the milk should be added the last few minutes! Well. If anyone can help I'll be forever grateful!! Mary :?:

Chele, I made your tomato soup recipe this evening and it was great! I used my stick blender at the end to make it seem creamier rather than add the cream. Now I will have to try some of the other recipes listed here. They all sound good!
