BEACH BAR TOMATO SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Saute butter and onions. Stir in tomato soup and 2 cups half and half and begin to heat over medium-low heat.
• 2. Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 cups of half and half in microwave. Then remove wrapper from cream cheese and microwave on a plate for about 20-30 seconds.
• 3. Stir into heated half and then pour into tomato soup mixture. Add seasonings and stir until hot, being careful not to scorch the bottom of the soup. Cream cheese should melt completely. Soup can be run through a blender or an immersion blender can be used to mix everything thoroughly.
• 4. Serve in individual bowls with a sprinkling of freshly ground black pepper and croutons.

THE BEST TOMATO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add the celery, onions, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are softened but not browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in the crushed tomatoes. Add the broth and thyme leaves. Cover and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour.
• Let the hot soup cool for about 5 minutes or so, then transfer half of it to a blender filling no more than halfway. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter. Remove the center cap from the lid and place it on the blender. Cover the lid with a kitchen towel to catch splatters, and pulse until smooth. Pour into a clean pot or container. Repeat with the remaining soup and butter. Season with salt and pepper.
• Ladle the soup into bowls and drizzle with more oil before serving.
