If You Love Tomato Soup, You Are Going To Flip Out When You Taste This

I never knew how much I loved tomato soup until several years ago. My mom used to use the canned soup in recipes but she never made it to serve as a soup. I hadn’t really tried it until I was an adult. I just remember the first time I tried it at my favorite restaurant. It was the Soup of The Day so I figured it couldn’t hurt. But, after only one spoonful I knew I loved it. Seriously! On a chilly day there is nothing like that creamy soup that just warms you up from the inside out. I love adding in a few spoonfuls of my favorite salsa to heat things up a bit more and a small dollop of sour cream on the top to stir in.

I guess I had never thought to make this from scratch, which is hilarious since I make everything from scratch, including marshmallows!  Ree Drummond takes this recipe up a notch by making adorable croutons to float on top. They remind me of a smaller version of what I make for French Onion Soup.  Ree goes the extra mile in so many of the things she does. I hope one day I will have the opportunity to visit her Mercantile Store, because if it is anything like she is I am sure it is down home, practical and very personable.

Quick Tip: If you are having a huge crop of tomatoes and are not sure what to do with them, consider lightly rubbing with oil, cutting them in half and placing them cut upside side down on a baking tray to place under broiler until blistered. It is a great roasted tomato taste.

I love the thought of making everything in the crock pot, or slow cooker depending where you live. But, I haven’t had much luck making lasagna noodles in it.

I don’t know it there is some trick of the trade I am missing or if it really is hard to get a rectangular shape to fit into a tight circumference, But this recipe looked too good to not try.

Since I had wide egg noodles on hand I decided to just go with that option this time. The great thing about this recipe is that it is totally adaptable to your tastes and needs.

PLUS did I say super easy? I mean being able to get come home to a hot home-cooked meal is a huge win with today’s super busy families.

This is what Julie of Julie’s East and Treats has to say about this recipe.

I’m in denial that I need to start planning for fall and that means back to school for a lot of you! Some of my favorite go-to meals for the fall include my Crock Pot. I’m often referred to as the “Crock Pot” queen by my friends and it’s a title I fully embrace!
