I just can’t get enough of soups this Winter. It’s been so cold and so miserable, I look forward to having a big bowl of homemade soup each week! This week I made a delicious Tomato Bisque that was so good! It was light, yet filling and full of flavor with few ingredients. We paired it with a yummy havarti grilled cheese on wheat bread for the grown ups and american cheese on wheat for the kiddos. We were all happy!
This soup only takes a few ingredients, 5 minutes of prep and 30 minutes to simmer away on the stove.
Try it out the next time you’re in the mood for a real down home comfort meal! It’s outstanding!
