Our Soup came about one evening when both of us came home from grad school classes. We were hungry and had no clue what to have for dinner. We didn't want to order out but our cupboards were also nearly bare. We noticed a few key ingredients and decided to make a tomato soup to at least fill our bellies. What resulted was a very tasty and satisfying soup that we have made countless times since and for some reason we always just called it "our soup". It is broth based tomato soup with a hint of lime and plenty of kick. It is really simple too and perfect for a quick weeknight meal.
