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!

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

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!

Tips:

Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will give your soup the best flavor. If you can, use heirloom tomatoes or Roma tomatoes. They have a sweeter, more concentrated flavor than other varieties.
Roast the tomatoes before making the soup. This will caramelize the sugars in the tomatoes and give the soup a deeper, richer flavor. You can roast the tomatoes in a 400 degree Fahrenheit oven for 30-45 minutes, or until they are slightly charred and softened.
Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich, flavorful taste. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or beef broth.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. You can add other vegetables to your soup, such as onions, carrots, celery, or zucchini. You can also add herbs and spices, such as basil, oregano, thyme, or rosemary. Get creative and make the soup your own!
Serve the soup with a grilled cheese sandwich or a crusty piece of bread. This will help to soak up all the delicious broth.

Conclusion:

Smoky tomato soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold day. It's also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. With its smoky flavor and rich, creamy texture, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this smoky tomato soup a try.
