Since joining Pinterest a couple years ago, I've pinned many, many recipes. I think the exact number is one zillion and two. And I know I'm not alone here. In that time, I've made some of them. Some have been successful, some lackluster, some not good at all. But tonight changed all that. Tonight I made a crock pot of creamy tomato soup that I've been eyeing for months and as cliche and juvenile as it is, all I can say is "OMG." (It's like Moon Unit Zappa's horrible 80's "oh ma god, like gag me with a spoon.")
So, in full disclosure, the recipe came from here. I didn't grow up eating tomato soup because my mom can't stand it. And, that crap in the can tastes like some weird sugary tomato concoction that can only have originated in Willie Wonka's factory. For quite some time now, I've been on the look-out for a homemade tomato soup. The photo of this recipe lured me in. As soon as I read the recipe, I've been dreaming of making it and pairing it with a gooey grilled cheese sandwich. However, the hubinator has been craving baked potatoes lately and that sounded like a pretty good combo. So, today was the day. I whipped this soup up in my trusty crockpot and I am so happy that I did, that...well, I just felt compelled to write about it and tell you. So, as I type this post, I have a warm belly full of the most awesome, rich, fresh, flavorful tomato soup and the happiness that this entails.
Even if you never fancied yourself a lover or even a liker of tomato soup, if I were you, I'd venture out and try it. The ingredients are cheap, so if you hate it, throw it out and it'll be no biggie. I bet you won't though. In fact, I think even my mom would eat this soup and like it.
