If end-of-season tomatoes are on sale, make a double batch of soup (omitting the cream) and freeze, up to 3 months. Stir in the cream after thawing and reheating the soup.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 large red onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
coarse salt and ground pepper
3 large tomatoes (about 2 pounds total), cored and chopped
1 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
1/4 cup heavy cream
6 slices bacon
2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
8 slices white sandwich bread
1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add onion and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until onion softens, 4 to 6 minutes. Add tomatoes and increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring, until tomatoes begin to break down, 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Add broth and 1 cup water. Simmer until tomatoes are very soft, about 10 minutes. In batches, puree soup in a blender (use caution when blending hot liquids). Return soup to pot and simmer 1 minute; stir in cream and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
  • In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium until lightly browned but not crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels; discard fat from skillet. Butter 8 slices bread. Place 4 slices, buttered side down, on a work surface. Top with bacon and cheese. Top with remaining bread, buttered side up. In batches, cook sandwiches in skillet over medium-low until cheese melts and bread is golden, about 5 minutes per side. Quarter sandwiches and serve with soup.
