SMOKY TOMATO SOUP WITH GRUYERE TOASTS

Smoky Tomato Soup With Gruyere Toasts image

This is a very nice, creamy tomato soup recipe from Food and Wine Magazine. I like to make it in the summer with tomaotes from my garden. The gruyere toasts really make this recipe special, but the soup is delicious on its own. I especially like that it's a simple, quick soup with great flavor. Enjoy!

Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, cut into 1/4 inch dice
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 teaspoons sweet smoked paprika
3 1/2 lbs tomatoes, quartered
1/2 cup water
1 thyme, sprig
1 bay leaf
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream
8 baguette, slices cut 1/4 inch thick on the bias
2 ounces gruyere cheese, coarsely grated, about 3/4 C

Steps:

In a soup pot, melt the butter in the oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook over medium-high heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the paprika and cook until it gets fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, water, thyme and bay leaf, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer until the tomatoes start breaking down, about 15 minutes. Discard the thyme sprig and bay leaf.
Preheat the broiler. In a blender, puree the soup in batches. Strain the soup back into the pot - pressing on the solids (use a strainer with larger holes. This just separates out the bits of tomato skin/seeds that didn't blend.) Stir in the cream and season with salt and pepper again, to taste.
Meanwhile, put the baguette slices on a baking sheet and broil 6 inches away from the heat until lightly toasted on both sides, about 2 minutes total. top the toasts with the Gruyere and broil for about 30 seconds more, until the cheese gets bubbly.
ladle the soup into bowls and serve with the Gruyere toasts. Enjoy!

This soup is way too spicy for me. I think I'll have to tone it down next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out bland. I think I might have added too much water.

I'm not a big fan of tomato soup, but this recipe was a game changer. The smokiness of the tomatoes and the creaminess of the Gruyère cheese were the perfect combination.

I'm not a big fan of Gruyère cheese, so I used cheddar instead. The soup was still delicious and the toasts were a great way to add some extra cheesy flavor.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. I also added some roasted red peppers for a little extra flavor.
