There’s nothing quite like a bowl of creamy tomato soup with grilled cheese. It’s so cozy, comforting and perfect for this chilly, winter weather. I love the fact that I can make a tomato soup that is just as comforting yet nourishing for my body. My creamy tomato soup will remind you of your childhood, yet packs in nutrients thanks to high quality ingredients and dairy free coconut milk to make it creamy.
I love to pair my tomato soup with a slice of toasted grain free AWG bread or grain free tortilla with melted grassfed cheddar on top. Perfect way to enjoy this childhood favorite without the extra calories and refined sugars/ simple carbohydrates!
The best part about this soup is that it comes together in just 15-20 minutes, and is a great lazy day meal solution! Let me know if you make it by commenting below. Enjoy!
