Paradise Bakery is one of my favorite places to eat for two reasons:
1. Their chocolate chip cookies…. Hands down the best!
and 2. The Fire Roasted Tomato Soup.
I usually get one or the other, usually both, whenever I go.
The last time I went to Paradise Bakery, I told myself it was about time I found a Copy-Cat recipe for this delicious soup. I knew it must be pretty simple to make and didn’t want to physically go get it whenever the craving for some came. Because, really, I crave this soup frequently. I came home from my latest visit to Paradise Bakery and searched for similar recipes on the internet, when I came across this recipe from The Changing Table. This is pretty darn close to the real deal and is perfect for this time of year. It is bound to be a favorite in your home too, just as it is in mine.

Yum, looks super creamy.

This sounds delicious and I can’t wait to try it! If you’re looking around for something new to try and copycat, may I suggest Kneaders’ Asiago Bisque? I absolutely love that stuff, and I am going to miss it when I move back to Washington in a few months….

I love ANY type of tomato soup. Will have to add this to my list of to-trys.
Just made this for lunch with a grilled cheese and it’s delish. This is saying something because I’m usually not a tomato soup fan.
