Tomato Soup
So I really want to like tomato soup. I love lobster bisque, and while they aren't the same, there are some similarities. I also LOVE tomatoes. So it would make sense I would at least LIKE tomato soup. Nope. I throughly dislike it. I keep trying to find recipes to make me love it. I thought I finally found the one. I haven't made a Pioneer Woman recipe that I hated. So I thought why would I hate her tomato soup. Well I didn't hate it, but it will truly be a side item to my grilled cheese, ha! Brad, however, did really like it. So I wanted to at least share it for those that do like tomato soup. It makes A LOT! So plenty for future meals!
