Back on the Wagon Mediterranean Tomato Soup

Christmas was lovely, the best ever spent surrounded by all of the people I love, including two brand new babies. Our family spent our Christmas dinner at a gorgeous garden centre restaurant this year. My hubby's cousin is the manager there and they booked the restaurant and all of our family, including their own families (mother-in-laws, father-in-laws) brought the food. It was the best Christmas dinner yet! They organizers had a huge room for all of the kids to play in with X-Box, Playstation, and lots of toys for the kids to enjoy. There was also an enormous gift shop we could all browse through on the way to watching the kids play floor hockey amongst a warehouse of Christmas trees. The pine and the flower scents were intoxicatingly festive. Though I will print a couple of Christmas dishes I enjoyed, here is the back on the wagon Mediterranean Tomato Soup to cleanse our bodies of all the chocolates, stuffing, turkey, and pies. I am looking forward to the new year and am currently writing out my dreams and goals. Enjoy the soup.
