The Best Tomato Soup by Foodtastic Mom

This is the best tomato soup I’ve ever made. Sometimes a simple dinner of tomato soup that is at once tart, sweet, smoky and hearty, paired with an unadorned grilled cheese sandwich, is just what is needed for a weeknight dinner. This is home cooking with virtually no effort and very inexpensive ingredients. But it’s SO good! The holidays seem inflated more and more each year so there’s an inevitable deflating in January. Looking at my last few recipe posts I can see the trend. Simple and back to basics. I like it. Eating simply is just as satisfying and much less intimidating. Hopefully you agree.

Another benefit of this soup? Leftovers are going to be used as pizza sauce! I haven’t posted a pizza recipe in a long time and I’m using a different crust recipe than I used to. I will share a simple tutorial soon on how to do a make-your-own pizza night. Caleb has actually said, when asked by some of our friends, that his favorite pizza is whatever I make. That might be one of the best compliments I’ve ever received – from anyone!
