Tomato soup, from Soup Addict
Over the holidays, my husband Ted and I took our granddaughters to the Boston Ballet's performance of The Nutcracker, and afterwards, we stopped at a local sandwich shop for a bowl of tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. I don't know who first paired those two classic dishes, but nothing has ever surpassed the deliciousness of that combination. This classic tomato soup from Karen at Soup Addict starts with canned tomatoes, which are the only option for many of us at this time of year. A quick roasting deepens the flavor, and the whole soup comes together in less than an hour. Make it for Meatless Monday, and don't forget the grilled cheese!
That looks incredible, Lydia! I'm so glad you shared. Amazingly, I'm the only one in my family who loves tomato soup. I tend to make super easy "cheat" versions in single or double serving size. Will have to keep this one in mind for when I have a tomato soup loving crowd on hand. :-)
Oh, and I love the image of you guys enjoying a special day out that included The Nutcracker and tomato soup and grilled cheese. What a perfect holiday outing with your granddaughters!

Shirley, I've been a fan of tomato soup since my mom served me the red-and-white can variety when I was a kid. It always came with a grilled cheese sandwich on the side, and that remains one of my favorite combinations. (And yes, it was a perfect family day!)
