How was your Thanksgiving? I hope you got to spend some time with your family and friends. What about Black Friday and Cyber Monday? Did you find some great deals? For the first time in a while, I shopped at home online. It was nice to be relaxed and shop with my fingers this year. I even did a Cyber Special for my online Kitchen Boutique. I hope you were able to spot some cute finds!
Today, I thought I’d take things all the way back to childhood. I posted a Homemade Tomato Soup Recipe and Grilled Cheese GIF on facebook and it almost went viral for my page. I recognized that people really wanted a Homemade Tomato Soup Recipe. So here we are!!! There is something about dipping that grilled to perfection cheese sandwich and dipping it into creamy, luscious Homemade Tomato Soup Recipe. It’s pure comfort at it’s best!!! I call it a warm tight hug in a bowl!!! Are you searching for comfort? Just want to let you know that Jesus wants to be your Comforter if you’ll allow Him. Won’t you let Him in? He’s waiting just for you!
This Homemade Tomato Soup Recipe is such a breeze to make. I used San Marzano canned tomatoes. The San Marzano tomato has fewer seeds, and the taste is stronger, sweeter and less acidic than the common Roma tomato. It comes together quickly by using an immersion blender right in your stockpot. I also used Chicken Bone Broth to aid in digestion and detoxification. Be sure to use your best grilled cheese for dipping into this Homemade Tomato Soup. Say Grace and enjoy!!
