Better than canned…and so good for you

Unlike some people in my household, I prefer tomato soup that has a little bite. 
I tease Steve about that because he just prefers tomato soup out of a can because it is simple and is a good accompaniment to a plain old grilled cheese sandwich. You see, I don’t like plain old grilled cheese sandwiches either. (Give me a couple of different kinds of cheeses on my sandwich…cheddar and goat cheese made a good combination this afternoon.
And I can make a tomato soup that is almost as fast as the canned sort, but which has a whole lot more bite to it that goes really well with a kicked up grilled cheese.
