Thermos Tomato Soup with Parmesan Croutons on the Side

Canned tomato soup elevated just enough to feel like a real lunch. A splash of cream and a pinch of basil makes even the plain canned stuff taste like you tried. Pack a small bag of croutons on the side so they stay crunchy and your kid can dunk them in — they will love this.
