Easy Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese Croutons

I love tomato soup so I’m always looking for different ways to make It. This is a go to easy recipe. Just didn’t try to croutons bc i don’t have a panini press

I could not for the life of me find saffron, so I did a turn with the seasonings. I added thyme, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes and bay leaves. Took the bay leaves out after 10 minutes, pureed about 3/4ths of the soup before putting the orzo in. I completely spaced and forgot to make the croutons lol!

Way too salty. Have to cut back on salt!

Family loves this! Found out we're not huge saffron fans, so I cut back or omit it entirely the second time around and it's still delicious.

Our family lived this recipe! I did not have saffron on hand so we omitted that, but now I have some to make this soup again!
