I’m confused as to why it’s a vegetable and a fruit? I know the tomato can be the fruit, so is it because of the veg broth?
You can use a tomato as a fruit. P&I has it listed as a vegetable which makes this interchangeable.
Since I had to make this for more than 1 person, I did 1 tomato, 1 celery stick and 1 handful of green cabbage at the last 2 mins. So we all got a little bit of everything. The cabbage gave it body, thickened it up real nice
Is Worcestershire ok? Doesnt it have sugar?
Are there any sugar free brands?
Yes there is a small amount of sugar in Worcestershire sauce, since there recipe calls for a dash, its negligible. However if you don’t want to use it you could replace with coconut aminos or something you feel more comfortable with.
