In the end of July, my husband went out into the field for two weeks. I took advantage of this time and decided to make things that he hates, while he was gone. As a child, I never liked canned soup, but since I'm older and figured out that homemade soups are the bomb dot com - I've been wanting to test out a few of my least favorites. This tomato soup was so much better than the stuff in the can! I loved the croutons too!
