Recipe Description
Serving this tomato soup with a grilled cheese sandwich or cheese toast would be a great idea, but if you skip that, just put cheese on top like I did! I liked it fine just sprinkling cheese on top and letting it melt in the hot soup.
This hearty, satisfying creamy tomato soup is loaded with vegetables, tender chicken, and flavorful sausage. Perfect dinner for a cold night!
