Tomato soup even I liked!

I have to start out telling you that I am not a big fan of tomato soup.  I know that many people like it, but it is just not something that trips my trigger.  I would rather have the grilled cheese than the soup.  But the tomato soup is in the book so I have to make it.  My wife and daughter were looking forward to it as they are tomato soup and grilled cheese junkies.  So here we go... here are the fixin's to make the soup.

This is not a "smooth" tomato soup... it has onions, and chunks of diced tomatoes in it.  The onions filled the house with a wonderful smell while they were being sauteed.

After the onions the diced tomatoes and tomato juice are added... along with some special ingredients.  It simmered on the stove top for a while before it was ready to be served.  I was actually quite surprised at how simple it was to make, especially since it tasted so good!

Of course, what is tomato soup without a couple grilled cheese sandwiches to dip in the soup as you eat it?  Nothing fancy here... just plain white bread, some spray butter, and a slice of Kraft cheese.  I promise I'll do some more "gourmet" type sandwiches another time.

Next up is homemade macaroni and cheese.  This is my daughter's favorite food, so if she likes it I know it will be a hit!

Looking forward to "eating" with you soon!
