Beefy Tomato Soup

Beefy Tomato Soup! On the dinner menu, tonight is Beefy tomato soup! This soup is a quick and easy recipe for you busy ladies and gentlemen out there!

These days being pregnant has been a little rough for me! I have to simply eat whatever sounds good to me at the moment! I feel like I’m eating all the time, just to keep from feeling sick! Not to mention, I only crave healthier foods.

Greasy fast food is not really an option, because I can’t keep anything like that down. Therefore, I’m relying on comfort foods to keep me in check. Granted that doesn’t always work! This soup really hit the spot and luckily with only two of us there are definitely leftovers! Enjoy!
