Easy Tomato Soup & Grilled Cheese Croutons I don't know what it's like where you are, but here in the Mississippi Valley it is unseasonably cold, I'm talking middle-of-winter cold.  At a time when I should be pressing my face against the glass of the local garden center, I am, instead, wearing two sweaters and standing over a big pot stirring soup. Perusing seed catalogs offering a wide variety of Heirloom Tomatoes put me in a powerful mood for tomato soup, so Ina Garten to the rescue with this wonderful, easy, fresh tasting recipe. It's from her latest cookbook, Barefoot Contessa Foolproof, and can be steaming in a bowl in a little over 30 minutes. This is my new go-to tomato soup recipe, but it had a trifle too much orzo for me, so the next time, I'd cut the amount to 1/3 or a heaping 1/4 cup.

From Foolproof by Ina Garten

3 cups yellow onions, chopped (2 onions)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
4 cups homemade chicken stock
Grilled Cheese Croutons to garnish

Serve hot with Grilled Cheese Croutons scattered on top.
