Marinara tomato sauce

Just wondering if anyone has views on Marinara sauce and if it’s ok for pre diabetes.
Just seen a recipe online for homemade tomato soup using 3 ingredients Marinara sauce,
Cream and stock. Looks lovely but anyone got ant advice or ideas.
 
@Theo do you mean a commercially produced sauce which may have added sugar and salt? My local deli sells meatballs in marinera sauce but they make their own. Previous owner was Catalan. Does the sauce have a nutrition label?
If you are prediabetic you just need to reduce portions of carbs not cut everything.

I had a small portion of the meatballs in marinera sauce and they were delicious, but just the once.
 
Oh this was in a tin . Not sure of nutrition contents. I thought I’d look tomorrow when food shopping. Might be better making my own as I’m obsessed with low carbs . My reading last January was 46 and never having a-problem before with sugar I was shocked. Go back in January for blood test so determined to not give in now. Really cut down on carbs and weigh everything.
 
It is a very easy sauce to make but even the jars are only around 15g carbs per portion but check what is says for carbs on the tin.
 
Hi leadinglights have you the easy recipe please. Thanks.

Marinara sauce

Ditch the shop-bought pasta sauce and combine tomatoes, onion and garlic to make a homemade version. Serve tossed through pasta for an easy and healthy meal

Cream in a marinara sauce should be an offence. Don't put parmesan on it either, although if you use one containing cream you already crossed the line of respectability.
