  1. I made this today for lunch and it was amazing! My 3 year old gobbled it up, which means it’s a keeper for sure. Thanks!

  2. I made this today with tomates from my garden. I decided not to add the whipping cream, and instead of croutons, I’m having a quesadilla (I’m GF). This soup is good food!
