We say TOMATO!! It’s beginning to feel like fall in Connecticut and I’m feeling all the comforts of the season with a warm creamy bowl of tomato soup served with a side of grilled cheese sandwiches!! The kids are also happy with this pairing because a simple classic is always a classic!! This recipe is perfect to pull together on the weekend giving you leftovers all week long!
What makes this soup extra rich? High quality heavy cream helps give it a smooth and creamy flavor! Who’s ready for warm soup season?! I’m ready for the leaves to change colors, warm bonfires, and the cozy aromas of fall to fill my home!
