Hey Georgette! I'm pretty sure it should be 1 can size 14 1/2 oz.

Hi Georgette! Mags is right, it means one 14 1/12 oz can of tomatoes -- which seems to be a pretty standard size in our supermarkets. Make sure and use organic if you can --- especially when it comes to canned tomatoes, though anything tastes great in this recipe. I have yet to use real tomatoes, though I'm sure that would be marvelous!

Hi chemegurrl
Do you know if Organic Tomatoes are acidic free? I just found out that I can't have Acidic fruits and No Tomatoes. If you could let me know that would be great then I can make your soup.

Hi there - it won't make a difference if the tomatoes are organic or not. Raw tomatoes are actually not very acidic at all - but cooked tomatoes are! So you wouldn't want to use tomatoes in a soup if you can't tolerate the acidity of cooked tomatoes.

Georgette -- if you can't handle tomatoes, you can always eliminate them (the flavor wont be quite the same, but the soup/stew is still very flavorful). You could try adding potatoes, or some other soluble staple if you wanted instead....
If you decide to make it let me know how it turns out! I just made a batch yesterday (all this talk put in me in the mood for some  Plus its rainy and cold here, so it warmed me up. Mmmm.

This e-mail reminded me of a conversation I had sometime ago with my GI doc when he first diagnosed me with IBS. I told him I couldn't possibly have IBS because I eat a lot of salads and they don't bother me. He said, "A lot of IBS patients not only tolerate salad greens well, but need it in their diet, and you're obviously one of them!" Heather, was he pulling my leg? Or should I change doctors? Bev.

Steather, this is EXCELLENT soup! I made it yesterday for our Christmas dinner -- it's all we had -- and my hubby RAVED about it! Don and I both love good soup, and this goes at the top of our list. I used my own chicken stock and ground turkey, and I browned the turkey balls first in a little olive oil. Do you add the raw meatballs to the soup without browning them a little first? I've never done that before -- does it cook it thoroughly enough?
Anyway, thanks for a terrific Christmas dinner! My hubby said for me to add this recipe to my Lentil Soup recipe; they're his faves.

Wow, Christmas dinner, that sure is special!(Actually, that sounds better than the dry turkey I had for dinner  ) I'm glad you enjoyed the soup! I have never browned the meatballs first, and they turned out fine, but your method sounds even nummier! So I'm going to try it that way next...
I love how recipes on the board keep evolving
