The other day my daughter came home from school and declared that she liked tomato soup. Can you imagine that? She said that they serve it at the cafeteria and that she really liked it. Then she proceeded to ask me to make some at home.
Music to my ears!
My little one actually requested something other than pizza, macaroni, or a hot dog. I was speechless.
And like any good mother, I set out to find a recipe that I thought she’d enjoy and put it on our menu plan for this week. To make the hubs happy, I made grilled cheeses (tomato soup’s partner) to go with the soup.
I found this recipe at Spark People and it is surely a winner!
The entire recipe took me only about 15 minutes to make. It made a large pot so there will be leftovers. You can even freeze this for later on.
Dipping my grilled cheese into this soup was absolutely a match made in heaven. I cannot express the happiness that this soup brought me.
I didn’t even know I liked tomato soup!

Low cal? For reals? Yuuuup!
This ain’t nothing like that mess in a can y’all!
