I made this after church for lunch today and it was SO GOOD! Its enough to stand as a meal on its own, but I decided to make grilled cheeses (sourdough and cheddar for bryan, whole wheat and swiss for me) to go with it, like a twist on grilled cheese and tomato soup. I'm planning on making this again soon, it was just too good and so easy.
