Meal No. 3267: Ultimate Cream of Tomato Soup

Geez Louisy, it was breezy and cooler this past Friday, and it put me in the mind of soup for supper. The much-loved cream of tomato soup was the go-to that night, in part because it also got me excited to try yet another bread recipe in order to also have grilled cheese sandwiches. It was a delicious loaf, albeit very light and soft...and therefore not sturdy enough for the buttering or for being grilled. And yet it had such awesome flavor and feel that one could very well overlook the lack of customary crunch and crust!

When Sunday night rolled around, the container of leftover tomato soup got zapped in the microwave while I used more of that homemade bread for a fresh batch of grilled cheese sandwiches. Lordy, it was so very good all over again.

Also, on Friday afternoon, I finally achieved a pitcher of fresh-squeezed orange juice, when I remembered I'd tucked away a bag of oranges in the pantry.
