Soup for a crowd

Happy New Year! I hope your year has started out with a bang! I have just returned from a two-week Christmas vacation! We traveled to warm sunny Arizona and took a four-day trip to Mexico! It's tough coming home to cold, gray skies, but this creamy tomato soup helped! 

There were 26 of us that traveled to Mexico together - that's my parents, all their kids (now adults) and the kids' spouses and all 12 grandchildren! And what a trip it was!

We rented a house - or actually several houses all connected by a courtyard. The main house sat right on the beach - we were in pure heaven!

Sunset on the beach in Mexico

The trip included lounging in the sun, playing beach volleyball, flying kites, kayaking, playing about a gazillion games of cards and one flash mob dance put on by the grandkids and two of the kid-like adults! We also had tons of food, food, and more food!

Everyone signed up for meals - we had breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks all planned. We ate some really amazing food.

I made my couscous salad the night we had shrimp, oysters and steamed clams. For lunch I also made Caesar salad  with a homemade creamy Caesar dressing. I quadrupled the dressing recipe and prepared it before the trip and brought it in a storage container. I used 18 heads of romaine lettuce and cooked and sliced 12 chicken breasts to go with the salad.

Whew - 26 people sure can eat a lot of food!

By the time we got back to Arizona after that amazing trip, we were all tired and needed a break from all those amazing meals, but we were all still a bit hungry and needed something to eat. My sister, Suzi whipped up a batch of quick tomato soup.

Since some of the original group parted, she only had to feed 15 of us! She shared her recipe with me and I made a few tweaks. Don't worry, my version feeds 6 -  not 15!

I made this simple tomato soup for lunch but since my kids were up skiing there's a lot left over.

I froze several single portions and am planning that for my lunch when I head back to work. Maybe that will help with the transition...

A crispy grilled cheese sandwich and a bowl of creamy tomato soup.

One of my favorite ways to eat this homemade soup is with a grilled cheese sandwich or a grilled turkey panini! Do you love to dip your sandwich into tomato soup? I do!

It's also delicious topped with a few homemade croutons or served with couscous cakes. 

Can I make this soup vegan?

Yes! Just omit the cream. This soup tastes delicious without the cream too!

This quick tomato soup can be on the table in 10 minutes! I also have another tomato soup recipe made with fresh tomatoes - it's not quick cooking, but it is equally delicious!

    18 heads of romaine lettuce!? Holy cow, that's a lot of lettuce. But then again, there were a lot of folks there! I remember you talked about the family trips in the past, and those sound like a ton of fun. Crazy adventures like that lead to great memories for sure. And also to great soup recipes, too. 🙂 I love a good tomato soup with grilled cheese, and while we've made tomato soup a couple times lately, we haven't served it with grilled cheese. Now I've got a craving that I need to fill! 🙂

    Sounds like you had a lovely trip! This soup would certainly help with the cold weather and I definitely do enjoying dunking a grilled cheese into it...it's a necessity 😉
