Tomato soup is the perfect partner for a grilled cheese sandwich. And this homemade tomato soup recipe takes little more effort than opening a can.

This recipe is easy, inexpensive and delicious. A couple of things I did differently: - I used fresh Spicy Globe Basil - used 5 cloves of garlic You also need to make sure that you don't add the cream and then let is sit uncovered for too long on the heat. I think you should add the cream, bring it back up to temp and serve immediately. I let it sit on low uncovered while I finished making our panini sandwiches. It got a little thicker than I would have liked. All in all, this is a fantastic and delicious recipe that I enjoyed very making very much and will make again.
