Best Lunch Ever

I think I'm proving to myself how much I love homemade tomato soup and a cheese sandwich for lunch. It's funny because I remember having that for lunch after kindergarten; sitting with my mum, crumbling saltines into my soup as I told her about my morning at school. Nice memory.

I love tomato soup when it's smooth and homemade. It's one of those soups you can't fake - out of a can never tastes the same.

This version took many cherry tomatoes, two romas, a beefsteak tomato, strained tomatoes, chicken stock, salt & pepper, and a tablespoon or so of tapioca starch to thicken it. I cooked it all down for until the fresh tomatoes were mushy, then strained the soup and served it beside a grilled ham and cheddar sandwich. Yum.
