Cream of Tomato Soup
Posted by peppertree on January 28, 2009
It snowed here yesterday, so…..dinner was Cream of Tomato Soup with grilled cheese sandwiches! What is so special about this soup, however is…it’s made from a jar of pasta sauce!! I didn’t tell Toby this on purpose, and waited to hear his reaction. He took one taste and said “wow, this is really good!” This recipe comes from an article in the Feb./March issue of Food Network Magazine titled “50 Things to Make with a jar of Pasta Sauce.” This was the very first recipe! I just used a jar of basil marinara sauce. With this we also had my fave pesto-grilled cheeses. Mmmmm. This soup is great when you have just a few minutes to throw together a dinner.
