Notes

This soup makes everything better! Serve with croutons on top, garlic bread or, better yet, a grilled cheese sandwich for dunking and let me tell you, life is good! If you can’t find cans of fire roasted tomatoes, regular canned tomatoes will work fine.  You can use less heavy cream if you like.

    Hi Amy,
    This soup looks perfect for those cold fall days that are coming our way. Easy to make and looks scrummy! Look forward to trying it soon.

  3. Can you please make your recipes printer friendly? I hate the waste of printing two pages when one will do.
