Not only can a delicious soup be created in under an hour, but if you use all fresh ingredients, your tastebuds and tummy will thank you! Perfect for colds, cold nights, or winter in general, soup is always a delicious and body warming meal!

In this case, we went with creating two homemade, delicious, creamy soups: Tomato Basil Soup & Acorn Squash Soup! We went with these two because they're our favorites to pair with a mouthwatering grill cheese sandwich! And trust me, this isn't just any grilled cheese! Our special grilled cheese recipe is coming soon!
