This Tomato Soup is Better Than Campbell’s

Making your own soup doesn’t have to be a kitchen nightmare. As a college student, canned soup has always been the go-to option, but it’s usually loaded with salt and not as great as it could be. Surprisingly enough, making your own soup really isn’t that difficult.

This tomato soup recipe is quick and requires relatively little skill to perfect. Pair it with these grilled cheese croutons for the ultimate experience.
