There is something about homemade soup that warms the heart. My homemade Tomato Soup is sure to do just that. This soup is so creamy and delicious. I am certain you will be going back for a second bowl. Add a warm grilled cheese with your soup and you will have the perfect dinner to warm you up on a cold day. I usually make soup once a week during the winter months.
My husband was beyond excited when I surprised him with a homemade bowl of Tomato Soup. It is now one of his favorites. Trust me, you are going to love it!
