Classic Tomato Soup with Bagel Bites Croutons

There is nothing more comforting than soup! It makes you feel warm and fuzzy all over. As a mom, it warms my heart to provide healthy meals and snacks to my boys. I cook a lot and although I don’t make everything homemade all the time, I’m pretty confident that most moms don’t make homemade tomato soup, homemade sourdough bread or homemade chocolate chip cookies for after school snacks.

I know, I spoil them. What’s even funnier, in a strange kind of way, is that my boys love healthy after school snacks as much as they love cookies for snacks. They love a bowl of this hot Tomato Soup with Bagel Bites Croutons…. they really love it full of Bagel Bites croutons!!! Maybe you could even say they like the tomato soup as a dip for Bagel Bites! Either way, I’m still getting quality snacks in them! Bagel Bites are a fun, quick, and convenient snack, which is crucial for after school!

Bagel Bites are full of real cheese – Mozzarella, Cheddar, and Monterey Jack! They’re all my favorites! And the bagel dough is made from scratch every day with high-quality ingredients with 0 grams of trans fat per serving! That’s important to me!

Making Croutons

While this rich and tasty homemade Tomato Soup is simmering, I toast the Bagel Bites as directed on the package. Then, I cut them into cubes and float them in the center of a warm bowl of soup. Comfort in a bowl! Adding Bagel Bites croutons adds a whole other dimension to this soup.

Bagel Bites

I used the Three Cheese flavor of Bagel Bites, but any variety would be equally as tasty. The soft, pillowy inside of the bagel, crisp outside, along with the creamy cheese and tangy tomato sauce contrasts nicely to the silky tomato soup. Contrasting textures and flavors makes every bite a sensory overload.

    My favorite snack is Greek yogurt but I also love fresh peaches and strawberries and on more than once occasion I’ve snacked on chip or chocolate.

    My favorite snack is peanut butter or Nutella spread on graham crackers. I add choc chips when I need something super-decadent.

    If there are cookies in the house, I eat them. I can’t stop myself (except by not buying or baking cookies). They’re absolutely my favorite snack.

    I would say my favorite snack to munch on is sliced apples dipped in peanut butter, with some pretzels.
