Grilled cheese and tomato soup? A match made in heaven. A couple of months ago, we found out that our son loves tomato soup. Granted, it came from a can, but he still loved it.

I decided to take my stovetop recipe and make it in the slow cooker. To me, the slow cooker was made for soups and sauces. When my son tried my soup, he devoured it. He likes to eat, but he is picky about what he eats. If that makes sense.

I love carrots, so I add it to the soup. Gives it more of a nutritious punch. Add the cream, milk, or as I do, coconut milk at the end; when you blend it all together. It gives it a nicer texture.

Eat this with grilled cheese, a quesadilla, goldfish, crackers, etc.

Enjoy!

Since I was a kid, I remember sitting in the kitchen to watch and/or help my parents. As I grew up, I decided to try their recipes and experiment with different recipes. Some were very good and I re-make them all of the time. Others? Yeah, I never tried them again. All of the recipes that I post are the very good ones.Also, while growing up, my pops suffered from high blood pressure, so my mom stopped adding sodium. Since that is how I was raised, all of the dishes that I post do not have any extra sodium added to it. A lot of friends and family who try my recipes, either do not notice nor miss it. But in no way am I saying not to add salt if you use my recipes. If you want to add it, then go for it.In closing, I hope that you enjoy my recipes. If you use any, then please post pictures. Enjoy!
