Homemade Tomato Soup

Nothing is better in cold weather than grilled cheese sandwiches and homemade tomato soup!

We had a lot of tomatoes this year. We made everything from marinara to tomato puree to tomato soup! When I was pregnant with Greyson, I craved tomato soup and grilled cheese. He normally won’t eat grilled cheese, but I told him that and he ate every bit of this! This recipe is a rich and delicious creamy tomato soup!
