We are stuck in a snowy, cold weather pattern this month. Lots of shoveling and snowblowing to be done, and nothing helps to warm you back up like soup. I can't recall ever eating tomato soup before, even as a kid (I liked Chicken & Stars). I ran across this one on the Taste of Home site, and it seemed like a great recipe to start with.
Only one minor change to this one- I used dried celery flakes because I have a ton on hand. I made the soup and froze it in single servings. I defrosted it and reheated it on the stove. I liked the consistency and flavor, and you can't beat how fast it goes together. And you've got to have grilled cheese with tomato soup, right? Thank you to Marian B for the recipe!
