Tomato Soup

I love soup at any time of the year but particularly in winter.I could say it's a comfort food on cold winter mornings as they warm up from inside. Hence i just love winter and soup. So today's recipe is a very easy tomato soup which is my all time favorite soup. It taste best when served with bread chunks. Here is the piping hot ladleful of tomato soup.
