Home Made Delicious Cream of Tomato Soup, Slow Cooked in Clay

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!  And it only uses 5 ingredients! Talk about amazing!

So pair it with grilled cheese, sip it out of a mug for a mid-afternoon snack, or serve it as an appetizer for your dinner party main course, but whatever you do—try this recipe!

Ingredients:

• 8 Tomatoes, diced

It really is just that easy! What are you waiting for?!
