I had some left over Semi Dried Tomatoes. Today I used them to make this Creamy Soup that I have been craving for a few days. It is silky smooth and very creamy, but you don’t need Flour OR any dairy. The soup is creamy because of Potato. Absolutely simple and easy to cook. Enjoy with crusty bread.
