Bloody Mary Soup with Pumpernickel Grilled Cheese Croutons image

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons EVOO
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
6 cloves garlic, chopped
3 celery ribs, chopped
2 onions, chopped
Celery salt
Coarsely ground black pepper
1/2 cup vodka
2 cups spicy tomato juice, such as Spicy Hot V-8 juice
2 cups beef stock
1/4 cup prepared horseradish
1/4 cup hot sauce, such as Frank's Red Hot Sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
One 28- to 32-ounce can fire roasted tomatoes or diced tomatoes
Softened butter
8 slices pumpernickel bread
8 deli slices yellow Cheddar
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped

Steps:

Heat the EVOO over medium-high heat in a large Dutch oven or soup pot. Add the thyme, lemon zest, garlic, celery and onions. Season the vegetables with the celery salt and black pepper. Cook the vegetables to tender, then deglaze with the vodka. Add the spicy tomato juice, stock, horseradish, hot sauce, Worcestershire and canned tomatoes. Bring the soup to a boil and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer to thicken and combine flavors, about 30 minutes. Cool and store for a make-ahead meal. Reheat over medium heat.
To serve, while the soup warms up, butter 8 slices of the bread on one side. Build the sandwiches with the Cheddar slices, buttered sides facing out. Griddle or grill the sandwiches over medium heat until deeply crispy and the cheese melts. Using a serrated knife, cut each sandwich into nine 1-inch croutons.
Stir the lemon juice into the hot soup just before serving. Ladle the soup into shallow bowls, then sprinkle with the parsley and top with the croutons.
