We have nights where we’re depleted of energy (especially with our two boys – soon to be three!) and need something quick and easy to nourish ourselves. Today, Tony and I still buy canned or boxed soup. Quick and easy was exactly what we needed. Mom worked a lot to support our family and during my teenage years, the two of us didn’t have much time to enjoy meals together. In fact, I remember us making cheesy pepper jack quesadillas and canned tomato soup on a frequent basis.
It wasn’t until high school that I began to crave the comfort of creamy tomato soup after Mom started buying Progresso’s hearty tomato. My favorite was Mom’s chunky beef stew that simmered and bubbled on the stovetop for hours in our small yellow duplex kitchen back in Minneapolis. The flavors never seemed to call for me, nor did I ever crave grilled cheese.
When I was younger, I despised tomato soup.
