Throw-Together Thursday: Creamy Tomato & Mushroom Soup!!!!

There is nothing better than Grilled Cheese & Tomato soup on a cold rainy day!

Love me some Dr. Seuss! 

In college my mom used to bring Campell's soup-to-go (or whatever that was called) & string cheese to my dorm and call it college style grilled cheese and tomato soup. Haha. Not even close, but it was a super cute thought.  This recipe is def not your college dorm tomato soup! 

Creamy Tomato & Mushroom Soup
What you'll need:

• 6-8 Tomatoes
• 1 Package of Mushrooms
• Can of Cream of Mushroom Soup
• 1 Onion, Diced
• 3 Tbsp. Butter
• 2/3 C. Milk
• 1 Tbsp. Flour
• 1Tbsp. Olive Oil
• Salt & Pepper to taste

Step-by-Step:

  

 1. Start cooking the Onions in the Olive Oil until they are translucent.

   2. Once the Onions become translucent, add the Mushrooms.

   3. Begin with 3 Tbsp. of Butter and the 1Tbsp of Flour. Cook this together until it thickens. Once this is well mixed and beginning to thicken, add the Milk, Cream of Mushroom Soup & 1 can of water.

  4. Cut your Tomatoes into chunks and throw in the blender with 1 Tbsp of Milk.

  5. Blend the tomatoes until they become a liquid.
