Homemade Cream of Tomato Soup

This comforting soup is the perfect pickme-up on cold winter evenings. Preparation time is minimal and it uses common pantry ingredients. If you prefer, vegetable broth can be substituted for the chicken broth, and half-and-half can be substituted for the heavy cream. Serve the soup with a loaf of crusty bread or grilled cheese sandwiches for a true comfort meal.
