Creamy Balsamic Tomato Soup

Ok so I was a little adventurous today and made 3 recipes. This is a super simple and tasty comfort soup. Serve with cheesy garlic bread or a grilled cheese. If your on a diet maybe add a salad. You can also garnish with whatever floats you boat. I choose parmesan cheese and fresh basil. You could also do salsa and sour cream or for your inner 5 year old add goldfish.
