Cream Of Tomato Soup Recipe
Comfort Food For Cool Weather
This Cream of Tomato Soup Recipe is one of those comfort foods we turn to when the weather turns cooler and wetter. A delicious tomato soup such as this one not only warms and comforts us, often it reminds us of simpler times in our past.
The soup recipe is quick and easy. It does not call for fresh tomatoes but if you have them, use them. This recipe uses tomato puree because the restaurant couldn't possibly keep up with the demand for the soup during the winter months if we tried to use fresh tomatoes.
Tomato soup is often served with a grilled cheese sandwich. It is almost a tradition for many Americans.
