Cream of Tomato Soup

If it’s a soup and sandwich kind of day; this Tomato Soup is creamy and mild. Serve with B’s Cheese Panini, Velveeta Grilled Cheese, Grilled Gruyere or with Parmesan Crisps. True comfort food at its best!

Cream of Tomato Soup

Fire Roasted Tomatoes give this soup a little more depth compared to a can of Whole Tomatoes, but both work just fine in this recipe. Brands with the same Carb count (4 CHO/1/2 CUP/125 ML) are available.
