Classic Homemade Tomato Soup
Classic Homemade Tomato Soup is quick and easy to make. As much as I love homegrown tomatoes, I find that canned tomatoes yield a more consistent end result. But, if you have homemade on hand, and no canned, use what you've got.

- 2 medium sweet onions diced
- 3 14.5 ounce cans diced tomatoes
