Easy Tomato Soup
There is nothing better than a hot bowl of creamy tomato soup on a cold winter’s day – paired with a gooey, grilled cheese sandwich. It’s heaven. I was so tired of buying canned, condensed tomato soup – I wanted to try to make my own so I could make it healthier and sneak in some veggies in.
This recipe is so easy – it is literally four ingredients! I do caution you though – it is best when you buy the best ingredients you can afford. You can make this easy tomato soup with canned tomatoes – which is what I prefer, or with fresh tomatoes. If you use fresh tomatoes, I recommend coring and peeling them.
