Creamy Tomato Soup (Day 28)

I’ve signed up for a 31 day  writing challenge.  Everyday in October, I am posting a new slow cooker recipe, a link to a previous posted slow cooker recipe, or a link to a recipe from another blog.

On Friday, Wee One and I went to a bonfire.  Since we were going to be eating yummy food there, I planned to have a light dinner so we were NOT too full.  So I chose to make tomato soup and grilled cheese.  Yum!

The Wee One and I had fun at the bonfire.  I made some Boo Mix to share.  It was a big hit with everyone who tried it.

The adults sat with the adults and chit chatted.  The kids ran around caring people and going on hay rides.  I did go on one of the hay rides and screamed during the whole ride even though it wasn’t really that scary.  

Now onto the recipe:
