Do you know what I’ve been craving alllllll week? Soup, soup, and more soup. I consider myself a bit of a soup nazi, in fact. And my all-time favourite? Tomato soup paired with a extra cheesy grilled cheese! There’s nothing quite like it.
I posted this recipe a couple years ago, but since it’s one of my cold weather go-tos, I thought it was about time to show it off again, if I may! Making your own soup seems like a daunting task that only the super elite kitchen pros can pull off, but I’m telling you this soup is literally the simplest dish I make and the total prep and cooking time is no more than 20 minutes.
More soup for you!
