Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup
I’m pretty sure most kids grew up with tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. And even to this day it sounds delicious. They even have restaurants that do nothing but tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. But at some point, you want to step up your soup flavors and make it more “adult”. This Garlic Tomato Soup or Bisque does just that.
Very simple ingredients bursting with wonderful tomato garlic flavor. You don’t have to buy canned tomato soup anymore. You can put this soup together in less than a half an hour and have a wonderful bowl ready to eat in no time at all.
Ingredients
Pick the best qualities of vegetable broth, tomato paste, organic cane sugar, kosher sea salt and crushed ground black pepper and you will have a gourmet version of this delicious garlic tomato soup. You can use fresh garlic instead of flakes. You can top with breadcrumbs or chopped chives. And even drizzle with a little bit of olive oil on the top for a more traditional Italian version.
Soups are a wonderful way to enjoy plant-based foods. A big pot of vegetable, split pea, lentil soup, cauliflower or potato soup all have tremendous health benefits, are easy to make, and are very budget friendly.
Freezer Soup
Make big pots and pop into the freezer. This makes it real easy to grab a plant-based meal when you’re in a hurry or life gets away from you.
One trick is to soup into singles serving freezer bags and freeze them laying down flat. Then you can stand them up and file them in the freezer and pull one out at a time as you need it. Be sure to write the name of the soup on it and maybe the date. As much as we think we’re going to remember what soup it is, freezing really can change the look of what it was. Of course, there’s always the soup surprise, right? Defrost it and figure out what it is later. We’ve probably all done that too.
