Meatless Mondays – Homemade Tomato Soup

silk_tomato_soup

Do you feel it? There in a crisp in the air. I actually needed long sleeves this morning as I played outside with Chickadee! It’s simply marvelous, unfortunately it is fleeting as the highs will be back in the upper 80s by the weekend. But you better believe I am LIVING IT UP! 

So before the southern heat creeps back in and cheats me out of an early Fall I decided to whip up a few of my favorite fall recipes….starting this Monday with homemade tomato soup! It was a Meatless Monday of sorts (as well as dairy free) and it was delightful (not to mention the perfect dish to enjoy while watching a little Monday Night Football). Goodness, isn’t Fall the BEST.

For this particular batch of tomato soup I added Silk‘s Original Soymilk & Silk Creamer to the recipe list. Silk products are plant-based and are not only good for you, but also good for the environment. Usually I use regular milk and even sometimes add in some Italian sausage to make this soup nice and hearty. But since we were going meatless & dairy free, the Silk Soymilk & Cream were perfect to help keep the soup thick and creamy. I also paired it with some of my homemade croutons which are delightful, especially after they soak up all the tomato goodness.

Yall, homemade seems so much for fancy than pouring a congealed blob out of a red and white can. I must admit I felt like I ordered it in a boutique restaurant vs. whipping it up in my own kitchen! Now that I know how east it is, we will be having a lot more Meatless Mondays, featuring Tomato Soup!
