The holidays are over and it’s cold and gray here in East Hampton.  Almost nothing lifts my spirits on a dark winter afternoon more than tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch –especially if it’s this Easy Tomato Soup & Grilled Cheese Croutons!!  The tomatoes are slowly simmered with onions, garlic, and spicy saffron, and are absolutely delicious with the nutty Gruyere in the grilled cheese croutons.  Say good bye to the mid-winter blues…I’m making this soup today!
