CREAMY TOMATO SOUP
Steps:
- Place a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and heat until just fragrant. Place 8 quarters of the bread into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 30 seconds on each side. Remove the bread and set aside for serving.
- Add the garlic, onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the oil. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions start to lose their color and soften, about 8 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook until caramelized, about 1 minute more. Pour in the vegetable stock, canned tomatoes and basil and stir to combine. Swirl 1/2 cup water in each can of tomatoes and pour into the soup. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the onions are soft, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, rip the remaining bread into bite-size pieces and submerge them in the cream in a medium bowl.
- Puree the soup until smooth using an immersion blender. Add the cream and bread. Puree again until free of any lumps. Stir in the honey and taste for seasoning. Serve warm, each bowl topped with an olive oil crouton.
CREAMY TOMATO AND SUMMER HERB SOUP
This creamy tomato and summer herb soup takes less than 25 minutes to prepare and can be served hot or cold. I prefer it hot. It is bursting with flavor and contains a full serving of vegetables in each bowl. Tarragon is the herb of choice in this version of the recipe, but chopped basil or even mint would work, too. While some creamy soups are made with heavy cream or sour cream, this one gets a rich, tangy flavor from a modest amount of reduced-fat sour cream. If you like, you can use low-fat plain yogurt instead. The soup is best when made with ripe tomatoes, but a 28-ounce can of diced tomatoes with their juices can be substituted in a pinch. For a complete light meal, serve this soup with a salad and a few slices of grilled whole-grain baguette.

- Season with salt and pepper.
