Tomato Soup and Wedge Salad

I prepared this dish on Monday night for myself, my mom and Sean.  The tomato soup was quite easy to make and I was able to let it simmer for quite a while until we were ready to eat.  I did omit the Sherry.  The ranch dressing was a bit more work with all the slicing and dicing but it came together nicely.  I didn’t notice until I was almost done making it that it needed to chill for an hour before serving so I just put it in the freezer to get it cold fast. 

All three of us really liked the tomato soup.  I am not a big fan of tomato soup, but this was the best I have tasted and I enjoyed my bowl full.  My mom really likes tomato soups and thought this one was delicious.  She added some goldfish crackers to hers (much to Summer’s delight). Sean was a bit concerned that there was no protein in the soup so he added some leftover meat that we had in the fridge.  The ranch dressing was good in my opinion but it had too much dill.  This might have been my fault for not chopping it up small enough but if I made this again I would cut back on the amount.   These two recipes made a nice little meal!

We also liked the soup & dressing. For the dressing, I'm not a fan of mayo, so I would prefer using miracle whip next time. I also am with you about too much dill. It was fun to make both of the recipes :).
