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.

QUICK TOMATO SOUP WITH GRILLED CHEESE



Quick Tomato Soup With Grilled Cheese image

When done well, this age-old combination can be exactly what you want. Here, the cooking is as easy as the eating: While you get the soup started in a pot with a can of tomatoes and little more than onion and butter (in the style of Marcella Hazan's famous tomato sauce), you assemble and pan-fry the sandwiches. The particular joy of these lies in their soft, quiet flavors: A thin layer of mayonnaise spread on the inside of the bread heats with the mozzarella, a mild cheese that lets you taste the bread and butter as they are. With a filling this rich and gooey, you want a delicate sweet enriched loaf like brioche or milk bread.

Categories     dinner, easy, lunch, quick, sandwiches, soups and stews, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
3/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth, plus more as needed
1 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Salt and black pepper
Mayonnaise
8 slices brioche or milk bread, crusts removed
1 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella (4 ounces)
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Make the soup: Dump the canned tomatoes and their juices into a medium pot and using your hands, tear into coarse chunks. Swish the broth in the empty tomato can and add to the pot.
  • Stir in the onion, butter, oregano and sugar and season generously with salt and pepper. Turn the heat to high and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and continue simmering, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender and the tomatoes have broken down, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the sandwiches: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread and evenly sprinkle the cheese and a little oregano on the mayonnaise side of 4 slices. Top with the cheeseless slices, mayonnaise-side down.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium. Add the sandwiches and cook until golden brown on the bottoms, 2 to 3 minutes. Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in the pan, then flip the sandwiches with a spatula, move them around to coat with the butter and cook until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn heat to lowest setting to keep sandwiches warm.
  • Carefully purée the tomato soup using a blender until smooth and creamy, adding more broth if needed to loosen to your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the grilled cheeses to a cutting board and cut each in half diagonally. Serve alongside the soup.

QUICK GARDEN CHEESE SOUP



Quick Garden Cheese Soup image

I made this soup for a scrapbooking retreat a few years ago. It was my first time making it and fortunately it was a success.

Provided by Melissa Snow

Categories     Other Soups

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 c celery; sliced
1 c onion; chopped
2 Tbsp margarine
2/3 c flour; unsifted
4 c water
2 Tbsp instant bouillon-chicken flavor or 6 chicken flavor bouillon cubes
1/4 tsp pepper
2 c frozen broccoli, cauliflower and carrot combo
1 c frozen hash brown potatoes
3 c milk or half and half
2 1/2 c cheddar cheese; shredded

Steps:

  • 1. In large kettle or dutch oven, cook celery and onion in margarine until tender. Stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add water then bouillon, pepper and vegetables; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • 2. Add milk and cheese. Cook and stir until cheese melts and soup is hot (do not boil). Garnish as desired. Refrigerate leftovers.

Tips:

  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your soup the best flavor and texture. If you can, buy vegetables from a local farmer's market or grow your own.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When you're cooking the vegetables, don't overcrowd the pot. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
  • Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is done simmering, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices.
  • Garnish the soup before serving: A few fresh herbs or a sprinkle of grated cheese can add a nice finishing touch to your soup.

Conclusion:

Garden cheese soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that's perfect for a quick and healthy meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a flavorful and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy.
