Easy Tomato Soup & Grilled Cheese Croutons

I can't believe I'm giving Ina a two-star rating, but here's why. The soup was okay. I used one large onion, because two onions sounded like a LOT. Yes, I have saffron on hand. I used crushed tomatoes. So, I followed the recipe, including the orzo. The end result was that there was a LOT of onion. You couldn't really taste the onion, because it's cooked for 15 minutes, until lightly golden. I just got remarks from my family like "that's a lot of onion". The soup was a bit on the acidic side, so I remedied it with about a tablespoon of sugar, which worked. I made the Cheese Croutons...kinda. I didn't cut them small and serve them in the soup. I made grilled cheese sandwiches and cut them in half and let my family eat as they wished. One dunked them in the soup, the rest didn't. Not a bad soup, but I'd say it's not worth using the saffron. I still like my tomato basil soup, better. For now.
