Springtime Soups and Sandwiches Recipe

Let’s talk springtime soups for a minute. Spring is in the air and that means changes are coming, which is good, but can also be hard. Do we wear long sleeves or short sleeves, jacket or no jacket? It can really make mealtime a challenge, too. Hot or cold, heavy or light? Well, I have a few recipes that will make “what’s for supper” a little easier.

The whole month of April is going to be nothing but springtime soups and sandwiches. This week’s soup is Roasted Tomato Soup. Roasting the tomatoes with a mesquite seasoning brings a richness to the tomatoes that takes the soup’s tastiness up a notch. Pair with a grilled cheese sandwich and you will please even your pickiest of eaters. Now that’s what I call a savvy bowl of springtime scrumptious!
