Submitted by Chef Nichol

"I came up with this recipe for my family as an alternate to canned tomato soup. It is rich and creamy and just perfect on a winters night! It's a big favorite in our house and I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Makes a fantastic soup to dip those yummy grilled cheese sammies in! ;o)"
