Here’s my time-saving secret to easy homemade tomato soup! This soup brings out the natural sweetness and subtle smokiness created by fire roasting organic tomatoes; that’s now been done for you in several canned tomato brands sold in grocery stores. That’s what makes this soup so quick and tasty. While you let it simmer, make grilled cheese sandwiches to go with it, and enjoy a classic favorite combination in less than 20 minutes.
Here’s a tip for making grilled cheese sandwiches. Very thinly coat outside of each bread slice with mayonnaise, before you put it in the skillet (mayo side down) on medium heat to brown and melt the cheese in between. It always comes out beautifully!
