SAVORY TOMATO SOUP
This soup paired with a grilled cheese sandwich is the best. My family used to always eat the tomato soup in a can, but DH didn't like it, so I was on a mission for a homemade tomato soup and my neighbor gave me his recipe. DH loved it and the whole family was happy. I hope you enjoy too.

- Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs, for an extra layer of flavor.
- For a thicker soup, add 1/2 cup of heavy cream or whole milk.
- For a vegan version of the soup, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and omit the butter.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
