Notes
Invent Your Recipe:
The comforts of tomato soup are wonderful. Paired with a grilled cheese sandwich and you have an all American hot meal. This recipe I use navy beans instead of cream to provide the creaminess for the soup. The blended beans are a great source of protein, however, if you prefer feel free to use cream instead of the beans.
I chose crushed tomatoes for this recipe because I like the texture, however, tomato sauce, tomato puree, or whole tomatoes would all work well.
