Sherried Tomato Soup

I found this recipe on Pinterest and someone pinned it from The Pioneer Woman and let me just say it's FANTASTIC! I had all the ingredients right here at home so I whipped some up. I was really unsure about all the sherry so I added it an 1/8 cup at a time and ended up adding the entire cup. I will be making this a go to recipe! When I served this I added a few of my homemade croutons to the top.
