Everyones Favorite Vegetable Soup Gets An Upgrade
Warm Memories
If your childhood was anything like mine, you probably have memories of being served Campbell’s Vegetable Soup with a Hot Grilled Cheese at some point. Possibly coming in for lunch on a cold winter day or when you were feeling sick you were comforted by the warm familiar flavour of that classic can. I know I have many memories similar to that from when I was growing up. I still crave that familiarity and comfort today as an adult.
Unfortunately today as an adult I realize that canned soups, although fast and convenient, are not necessarily the most nutritious meal choice. That is why I decided to find a healthy and organic alternative to my favourite comfort soup. I found this recipe!
After giving it a little organic tweak it satisfied my canned soup craving perfectly!
Moreover, it tastes better than I imagined it would! Not to mention being home-made with organic ingredients its waaay better for you! If your like me and also enjoy the convenience of just heating up a bowl, you can easily double the recipe and freeze portions for easy delicious soup any time! Also if you feel that you should need a grilled cheese this also go’s way to perfectly with our Zucchini Grilled Cheese Sandwich recipe.
