Today was cold and rainy, so my husband was looking for grilled cheese and tomato soup. Which is fine, and definitely brings me back to my childhood, but I just wasn’t feeling it today. I wanted a little more from my soup. So I took my can of Campbell’s Tomato Soup, added 1 can of skim milk instead of water (my mom often did this, it makes it much creamier, though I can’t quite call it cream of tomato soup), 1 teaspoon of dried basil, and ¼ teaspoon of freshly ground pepper. It was amazing! Just the extra I was looking for.
My 10-year-old had some when he came home from school, and couldn’t stop telling his brothers how good it had been.
I don’t think I’ll ever look at a can of Campbell’s Tomato Soup the same way again.
That sounds perfect for a chilly day! I'll have to try it. I don't remember Mom doing that.
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny:) When Therese and I have a snow day or cold day at home, that's what we want. We had it last weekend. I can't wait to doctor it up:) Reg did you prefer the Cream of "Mushroom" soup?
ReplyDeleteWas that when Katie had a fly in her soup?
ReplyDeleteReally, I didn't like soup much as a kid. Guess there was a lot I didn't like much as a kid... not that it mattered any. Love it now, though!
YES REG!:)
