Tomato Soup

Jake Mentioned wanting grilled cheese sandwhiches with tomoto soup for dinner on Sunday when it was cold and cloudy outside. Although I have not made it before I decided to wing some homemade tomato soup. We had it with grilled cheese sandwhiches made with cheddar, harati, some laughing cow and avacado.......yum!!
