10 Minute Tomato Soup | Recipe Girl

My grilled cheese + tomato soup obsession began when I was little. ?Just like 95.6% of the other Mom?s in America did, my mother served up Cream of Tomato soup from the red & white can once in a while (you can probably relate if you were a 70?s kid). ?I loved the stuff by itself, but when served with a grilled cheese sandwich it became extra-special. ?My favorite thing was tearing off bits of the sandwich and dropping it into the bowl to be scooped up with spoonfuls of soup. ?I totally admit to still doing that! ?Nowadays for lunch I make a grilled cheese with added fresh tomato (I won?t eat the canned stuff anymore), but it?s even better when I can whip up some homemade?Tomato Soup to go along with that grilled cheese.

This super quick (10 minute!!) Tomato Soup comes from newly released The Picky Palate Cookbook. ?It?s creamy and delicious with some basil and garlic mixed in too. ?It?s also kid-friendly? get the kids to help you and show them how easy it is to make Tomato Soup! ?And don?t you dare forget the grilled cheese!
