I have two girls who are 11 and 6. In general, they are probably normal kids in terms of what they will and won’t eat. They are not often big soup eaters, but I have made this tomato soup for them a couple of times and they have eaten it every time I have made it. Yay for that!
I often make grilled cheese sandwiches to go with the soup, but this time I was feeling lazy and didn’t want to hassle with the whole making grilled cheese sandwiches….I know I sound like a total baby. Instead of grilled cheese, I cut a baguette in half lengthwise and then in half crosswise. I put a small amount of butter and a small amount of mozzarella cheese on the baguette. Popped it into a 400 degree oven. When it was toasty and beginning to brown, pulled it out and voila! Perfect simple tomato soup accompaniment.
Below is my Tomato soup recipe for you. I adapted it from the The America’s Test Kitchen Healthy Family Cookbook

Looks really good. I wish my husband liked tomato soup. I might have to make this for lunch someday for me and the kids and forget about him.
You never know, he may like it. I don’t traditionally like tomatoes or tomato soup, but I like this soup. Not sure why. Hope it works out if you try it!
KC
Yum, I LOVE tomato soup! I have never made it from scratch though, I will definitely need to try this!
It is really yummy and this recipe is pretty easy to make, too! Bonus!

It is yummy! Thanks for the pin.

Yum! What do you do with the bread cubes?
It is listed in the recipe, but you cook it in with the tomatoes. It ends up acting as a thickener versus using cream.
Take care,
KC

I love the heart in the soup! My husband loves tomato soup so I might have to make this for him soon (though he loves the canned stuff???).
I’d be thrilled if you’d link up at this week’s Off the Hook!
Thank you! I hope you and he enjoy the soup if you try it.
Take care,
