Cream of Tomato Soup
If you ask me you don’t have to wait till Fall or a cold rainy day to enjoy my Cream of Tomato Soup. We eat it year round. Tomato Soup is such a comfort food for me. Oddly enough my mom who made everything from scratch never made homemade Tomato Soup for us growing up. She served it to us straight out of the can. In spite of that introduction to Tomato Soup, this recipe always reminds me of her. And I’ve made it for her countless times over the years and we laugh about the canned version I grew up on.
