  Ok now we get to the tomatoes and the lettuce. Here are a few options for that: 1) Add both right before serving and mix into soup. 2) just add the tomatoes and serve lettuce on the side or just leave the lettuce off if you want, it is optional. 3) Serve both on the side and add the amount you want when you want.

  I served ours on the side and we added the amount we wanted. My husband said he prefers it without the lettuce. I also made homemade croutons out of hamburger buns, served on top. Just butter the buns on all sides, cut into chunks and toast at 375 until browned the way you want.
