Easy Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese Croutons image

Provided by Ina Garten

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons good olive oil
3 cups yellow onions, chopped (2 onions)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
4 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, preferably San Marzano
Large pinch of saffron threads
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup orzo
1/2 cup heavy cream
Grilled Cheese Croutons, recipe follows
4 (1/2-inch-thick) slices country white bread
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 ounces Gruyere cheese, grated

Steps:

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven such as Le Creuset, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook over medium-low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Stir in the chicken stock, tomatoes, saffron, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, fill a medium pot with water, add 2 teaspoons salt and bring to a boil. Add the orzo and cook for 7 minutes. (It will finish cooking in the soup.) Drain the orzo and add it to the soup. Stir in the cream, return the soup to a simmer and cook for 10 more minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Serve hot with Grilled Cheese Croutons scattered on top.
  • Heat a panini grill. Place the four slices of bread on a cutting board and brush lightly with the melted butter, being sure to butter the corners. Turn the slices over and pile Gruyere on two of the slices. Place the remaining two slices of bread on top of the Gruyere, buttered sides up.
  • Grill the sandwiches on the panini grill for about 5 minutes, until nicely browned. Place on a cutting board, allow to rest for 1 minute and cut into 1-inch cubes.

Yowzers. This is terrific. I love how creamy this is, and the homemade croutons top it off nicely. Great with grilled cheese or mac n cheese or just by itself. I doubled the recipe, but I'll post as written.

TOMATO SOUP WITH GRILLED CHEESE CROUTONS RECIPE BY TASTY



Tomato Soup With Grilled Cheese Croutons Recipe by Tasty image

Name a better pair than tomato soup and grilled cheese-while we wait, we'll dig into this creamy soup and crouton combo. Rather than serving the grilled cheese as whole sandwiches, we cube ours into croutons and serve directly on top of the soup for crunchy, cheesy goodness in every bite.

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Dinner

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large yellow onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minceds
2 teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon sugar
28 oz 1 can of whole peeled tomatoes
3 cups vegetable stock
1 large sprig of fresh basil
1 cup heavy cream
4 slices of bread
unsalted butter, room temperature
sliced cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Make the soup: In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the olive oil and butter together over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until softened and golden, about 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until aromatic, about 1 minute.
  • Add the salt, pepper, thyme, red pepper flakes, sugar, tomatoes and their juices, vegetable stock, and basil. Bring to a boil, using a wooden spoon to break up the tomatoes. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the basil sprig, then use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, ladle the soup into a standing blender, working in batches, and blend until smooth.
  • Add the heavy cream to the soup, cover, and cook over low heat for 5 minutes, until warmed through.
  • Make the croutons: On a cutting board, butter both sides of each slice of bread. Lay the cheese on 2 of the bread slices. Top with the other slices of bread, creating a sandwich.
  • Heat a large pan over medium-low heat. Once the pan is warm, add the sandwiches and cook until golden brown on the underside, 2-3 minutes. Flip the sandwiches over and continue cooking until the other side golden brown and cheese is melted, about 2 minutes.
  • Transfer the grilled cheese sandwiches to a cutting board and cut into 1-inch croutons.
  • Serve the tomato soup topped with the grilled cheese croutons.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • To save time, use a can of diced tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes.
  • If you don't have any heavy cream on hand, you can substitute milk or half-and-half.
  • For a thicker soup, add more flour or cornstarch. For a thinner soup, add more broth.
  • If you want a cheesy soup, use a sharper cheese, such as cheddar or Parmesan. For a milder soup, use a milder cheese, such as mozzarella or cream cheese.
  • Serve the soup with croutons, breadsticks, or a side salad.

Conclusion:

This creamy tomato cheese soup is a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and it's also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. So next time you're looking for a simple and satisfying soup recipe, give this one a try.
