Home Made Delicious Cream Of Tomato Soup

Growing up, tomato soup was one of my favorite things to eat. It was simple, filling and delicious. It was warm and comforting in the winter, and I could just curl up with a piping hot mug of it and be happy.

I still love tomato soup, but now I like to add different flavors, from a dollop of sour cream to cheese sprinkled in, or as a base for veggie meatball soup or other things.

Now, Campbell's is an old standby, but since I've "kicked the cans" to the curb, I've been on a quest to find more homemade soup recipes that still taste great and are comforting, without being too difficult or time-consuming.

This cream of tomato soup has become a favorite of mine because it is so very easy and quick, and I can make it easily in my VitaClay-which means it's even easier! And Quicker!
