This simple and flavorful Spicy Tomato Soup is perfect for the cool winter months. A little smokey spice makes a big difference in this bowl of goodness. (gluten free, dairy free)
It's amazing how comforting a simple bowl of warm soup can be. It brings back warm and fuzzy memories for me! Tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches were a regular on our family menu when I was growing up. Sometimes it was even Sunday dinner!
This Spicy Tomato Soup is loaded with antioxidants and a great way to start the year off with a bang. I love adding spices like cumin (basically to everything) and some red pepper flakes to give it a kick. If I had my way I would add more spices but gotta feed the kids I guess.
