Cheesy Low-Carb Tomato Soup

This cheesy tomato soup is like a mashup of a grilled cheese and tomato soup, keto style! Have you ever thought about putting the cheese IN the tomato soup?

It’s an epic idea that turned out perfect! This soup is rich, creamy, cheesy, and all around great. It stores really well so it’s awesome as a meal-prep idea, especially in these cooler winter months. Bonus, that it’s ready in less than 20 minutes!
