When the weather is getting colder and the days are getting shorter, it’s time to make homemade soup. My favorite is Tomato Soup and I am talking about one that you can make when you get in from work or from walking the dog on a chilly Fall evening. This recipe is simple to follow and great for school lunches, or to take to work the next day. I like to make this on the weekends and triple the recipe and freeze the leftovers. When freezing, store in individual containers and take out of the freezer the morning you leave for work. When you return home you are ready to warm up a great dinner and serve with a french baguette. Then, get ready to relax with a great comfort food.
