Nothing goes with a grilled cheese like a good roasted tomato soup. It's a healthy vegan (Has honey which isn't technically vegan, but its up for debate and you can swap for sugar, but I don't prefer sugar to honey) soup but its packed with flavor. Now that you can make a great grilled cheese and tomato soup, relive your childhood or make the one your kids are living more fun and delicious.
