Homemade Tomato Soup

@inagarten @foodnetwork  From the #FNMag (Oct 2012), this is our second time making this delicious homemade soup.  Both the orzo (in the soup) and the addition of the grilled cheese croutons provide a great deviation from the traditional tomato soup.  This soup certainly helped to make a very cold February night a bit cozier. 
 
The thought of a homemade soup, especially something as simple as tomato soup, may seem arduous, but this dish certainly does not disappoint and is ready in less than 45 minutes.  Our only deviation from Ina's recipe is the elimination of the saffron.  It is too darn expensive to include in a simple soup.  (Are we missing out!?) 
 
The blend of the Gruyere in the grilled cheese croutons along with the orzo in the soup make this dish a full meal.  We would recommend it if you are looking for a hearty dish on a cold winter night!  Thank you Ina and FNM for another great dish.  Here is a link to the recipe if you want to give it a try.
