    Homemade tomato Soup

    It’s hard to believe that our Creamy Tomato Soup starts with a can of tomato soup. Just add canned diced tomatoes and a touch of cream, top with our Grilled Cheese Croutons, and lunch just became a dining experience!

    The classic Creamy Tomato Soup With Cheddar Bacon Grilled Cheese Croutons   simmers on your stove top and will warm you up on a chilly fall day topped with grilled cheese croutons of crispy bacon, sharp cheddar cheese and potato bread.

    Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup

    We all know that the best way to savor a grilled cheese sandwich is with a bowl of piping hot creamy tomato soup! And April 12th is National Grilled Cheese Day so let's get this party started! 

    First Published: April 12, 2013... Last Updated: March 26, 2020

    Just add diced tomatoes and a touch of cream to canned tomato soup, such as Campbell's tomato soup, and you won’t believe how delicious it becomes. But wait, there's more!

    Make it even better by topping with the latest trend of grilled cheese croutons. I do wish I could claim credit for this amazing concept but instead I can only take credit for making the best of this new phenomenon of grilled cheese croutons by combining crispy bacon, sharp cheddar cheese and potato bread.

    Trust me when I say, our classic Creamy Tomato Soup With Cheddar Bacon Grilled Cheese Croutons will simmer on your stove top and warm you up on a chilly fall day especially when it's topped with grilled cheese croutons of crispy bacon, sharp cheddar cheese and potato bread.

    Happy Grilled Cheese (& Bacon) Day!

    Easy Homemade Soup Recipes

    When it comes to comfort food, a piping hot bowl of homemade soup is top on my list. I think you'll enjoy these soup recipes too!Dandelion Soup, Lentil Broth Bowl, Avocado chicken Soup and Cauliflower Soup

    Seasoned with fresh basil and filled with tortellini and springtime greens, Grandma's Dandelion Soup has been a favorite in my family throughout the generations! 

    Quinoa Lentil Broth Bowl is an easy recipe for a hearty bowl of soup filled with lentils, quinoa, carrots, kale and a hint of lemon in a light tomato broth. Switch out the chicken broth for vegetable broth, top with an egg and have a perfect Meatless Monday dinner!

    The fresh clean flavors of garlic, fresh ginger and lime and the buttery creaminess of chunks of avocados come together to create Avocado Lime Chicken Soup, a new comfort soup favorite!
