Better Than Zupas Tomato Soup - Our Kind of Wonderful

Better than Zupas Tomato Soup

I have never been a big tomato soup person. In fact, the only tomato soup I really liked was from Cafe Zupas, and then we tried this recipe on a whim. Oh. My. Gosh. This soup is amazing. I will actually continue to eat it after my grilled cheese is gone, which never happens, and it is rich, and filling, and just perfect. This has fast become a quick favorite of ours, and one of our go to recipes.
