Ina wins! {Perfect Tomato Soup}

Have you found a great tomato or tomato basil soup that you just love?  I had not, and had just about given up on making my own - the flavor just wasn't there.  Then I came across Ina Garten's Easy Tomato Soup with Grilled cheese croutons  Let me just say that this one is going in my file folder!  And only the good stuff can go in there!  I promise you, your whole family will love this.  It's hearty enough that if you don't want the grilled cheese you could eliminate ...but I don't recommend that :)  I was tempted to add basil into mine because I love that for flavor, but I'm SO glad I didn't.  You'll see why. Just trust me on this one!

So I hope you make it, enjoy....and don't forget to serve it with a smile!!

2 hints .....

I used whole canned tomatoes and then used my immersion blender, and the texture was perfect.

I also forgot to add the half & half, and I'm so glad I did b/c it would have been too heavy with it
{in my opinion}
