Easy Tomato Soup

This is now definitely soup weather, isn't it? This is a great weekend, easy dinner, or Sunday night meal. This is one of my favourite soups. I always have tomato soup and a can or two of tomatoes in my pantry, especially in the winter months. It provides a quick, inexpensive and tasty meal in minutes
