Homemade tomato soup and homemade bread - “shit Sunday meal”?

Had planned to make gammon and cauliflower and cheese but we have quite a lot of tomatoes and veg that could do with using up. I thought homemade tomato soup with a nice loaf of cheese and garlic bread would be nice. But dh has said it’s a bit shit for a Sunday. We enjoy a “nicer” home cooked meal on Sundays. Take it in turns. We have things for a roast but it can be done later in the week.

I think dh was rude. Tbf he typically makes more of an effort ie we had homemade ravioli last week. Thats on him though as he’s more of a foodie. I’m genuinely not trying to get out of work just wanting to avoid waste!

Why is bread or soup nicer because it's home made? Bread in particular is often nicer fron a decent bakery.

Edited

I think OP wants to argue it's effort because it's home made but just in a prior post she said the recipe is very easy and idiot proof recipe. So the whole meal including the tomato soup is low effort.

I think it’s stated more than once that it’s “we”

We enjoy a “nicer” home cooked meal on Sundays. Take it in turns.

So they also take it in turns, so why should the DP be grateful OP cooks at all?

Soup and bread is a quick ‘late home from after school commitments’ kind of dinner. Or a lunch. Definitely not a filling Sunday dinner.
I really can’t understand why you couldn’t have made the soup to eat the next day, if the tomatoes were going to be completely unusable within the next 24 hours, and made the gammon and cauliflower cheese as planned.
