Tomato Soup

Soups are easy recipes to cook up any day of the week. There might be some prep with chopping vegetables but the cooking process is a cinch, just throw everything in a pot and cook for awhile. My DH loves eating soup, even in this hot Costa Rican weather. I love a good tomato soup and pair it with a grilled cheese sandwich…delicious!
Delicious Rating: This soup is delicious. It is creamy without all that extra cream. I added a little roux to make it thicker than a usually tomato soup. Serve this soup with some crusty bread or add some sharp white cheddar cheese to that crusty bread for a really unique and yummy flavor combination. This is a great recipe to cook if you have extra tomatoes or want a light lunch or appetizer to a meal.
