"This soup is the "Grown-Up" version of a childhood favorite, Tomato Soup! It's quick and easy to prepare and delicious spoonful after spoonful. From lovebakesgoodcakes.com, this is a must have recipe when you want a good soup to warm your innards! This recipe yields 6-8 servings of soup and 4 bread bowls, and of course this depends on the size bowls you use. If you don't want to use the bread bowls, a Grilled Cheese Sandwich is a great substitute to have along with it! The cook time is the time it takes to cook in the slow cooker, but you can make the bread bowls while that is cooking so I didn't add that time in."
