Lately, I’ve been loving simple, soul-warming soups loaded with deep nutrition, balanced macronutrients (hello protein), and so much flavor.
When a tomato soup craving hit last week (along with a need for an easy weeknight meal), I got creative with what we had on hand and made one of my favorite soups to date. We pair this with fresh-baked (still-warm) sourdough focaccia and a rotisserie chicken from our favorite local farm, and simple prep made for a special family dinner.
I’ve made this soup 3 times in the past week, and it was a real crowd pleaser when my sister visited (plus, it gave me more time to spend with the ones I love instead of in the kitchen). It’s simple, nourishing, and DELICIOUS. We even warmed the leftovers and packed them up for a soul-warming bonfireside lunch at the lake.
And a big part of the time saving AND amazing flavor? The wildly delicious Italian seasoning from Clean Monday Meals. Have you tried their stuff yet?
