When I think of tomato soup it brings back memories of a can of Campbell\u2019s with a processed grilled cheese sandwich, a comfort food from my past.\u00a0 I didn’t know soup could get better than Campbells!\u00a0 I’m telling you this soup is a must try.\u00a0 It is smooth, comforting, and delicious; a creamy tomato base with a hint of saffron and a bit of body added by the orzo.\u00a0 Make an adult grilled cheese with Gruyere or an aged cheddar and a thick crusty bread to accompany it.\u00a0 My family and clients keep asking me to make this soup.\u00a0 Some grilled cheese croutons thrown in also make it special.<\/p>\n
