TOMATO SOUP WITH PARMESAN CROUTONS

Steps:

• For the soup: In a large pot, heat the butter and oil over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, garlic and onions and stir and cook for 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, another 2 to 3 minutes. Add the canned tomatoes, broth, parsley and 1 cup water and stir. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover the pot and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture, still leaving some texture to the tomatoes. Add the cream, basil and some salt and pepper, and simmer for another 5 minutes.
• For the croutons: Drizzle the baguette rounds lightly with olive oil. Place little piles of Parmesan in a nonstick skillet. Place a baguette round on top of each pile. Turn on the heat to medium.

TOMATO SOUP WITH GRILLED CHEESE CROUTONS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the soup: In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the olive oil and butter together over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until softened and golden, about 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until aromatic, about 1 minute.
• Add the salt, pepper, thyme, red pepper flakes, sugar, tomatoes and their juices, vegetable stock, and basil. Bring to a boil, using a wooden spoon to break up the tomatoes. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Remove the basil sprig, then use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, ladle the soup into a standing blender, working in batches, and blend until smooth.
• Add the heavy cream to the soup, cover, and cook over low heat for 5 minutes, until warmed through.
• Make the croutons: On a cutting board, butter both sides of each slice of bread. Lay the cheese on 2 of the bread slices. Top with the other slices of bread, creating a sandwich.
• Heat a large pan over medium-low heat. Once the pan is warm, add the sandwiches and cook until golden brown on the underside, 2-3 minutes. Flip the sandwiches over and continue cooking until the other side golden brown and cheese is melted, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer the grilled cheese sandwiches to a cutting board and cut into 1-inch croutons.

ROASTED TOMATO SOUP WITH CROUTONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Prepare the tomatoes. In a large bowl, mix the tomatoes, 1/4 cup of the oil, the vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper, to taste. Spread the tomatoes out on a non-reactive baking sheet. Roast the tomatoes in the oven until very dark in spots, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove and allow to cool a bit.
• Prepare the bruschetta. Cut the bread crosswise into slices about 1-inch thick (you will need 8 slices). Lightly brush the slices on both sides with oil and season with salt. Place the slices on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until the bruschetta are golden brown and just beginning to crisp, about 6 minutes.
• In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine remaining 1/4 cup oil, the onions, and a pinch of salt. Cook until the onions are very soft, 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the 2 cups basil leaves and saute with the onions for about 1 minute.
• Add the roasted tomatoes and water to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Puree the tomato mixture in a blender. Start the motor at a slow speed and increase gradually. Alternatively you can use an immersion blender right in the pot. The mixture should be very smooth. You should have about 8 cups. You can prepare the soup to this point and refrigerate it. When ready to serve, pour the soup into a medium saucepan and bring it to a slow simmer over medium heat.
• Serve the soup. Place 1 bruschetta in the center of each shallow soup bowl. Pour the soup around each bruschetta. Garnish with torn basil leaves.

NEXT LEVEL TOMATO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line a large, shallow roasting tin with baking parchment and arrange the tomatoes in the tin, cut-side up. Season generously with salt, then scatter with the garlic, chilli (if using), 1 tsp of the sugar and the oregano. Drizzle with 1 tbsp of the vinegar and 1 tbsp of the olive oil. Roast for 45 mins until the tomatoes are shrivelled and have released plenty of juice.
• If making the croutons, tear the bread into small pieces and tip onto a baking tray. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil and scatter with the parmesan, if using. Toss to coat the bread in the oil and cheese. Bake alongside the tomatoes for 20-25 mins, tossing a few times until golden and crunchy. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. Will keep in an airtight container for a day.
• Meanwhile, set aside a large handful of basil leaves, reserving the stalks and remaining sprigs. Heat another 2 tbsp olive oil in a saucepan or frying pan over a medium-low heat and cook the onions with a little salt for 20 mins until soft and sticky. Stir in the rest of the sugar, then pour over the remaining vinegar. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 3-5 mins until the onions have broken down a little and the liquid is syrupy.
• Tip the tomatoes, along with their roasting juices, into the pan with the onions, then pour in the stock and scatter over the basil stalks and whole sprigs. Stir well and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 mins until the tomatoes have broken down into a chunky sauce. Remove from the heat and leave to cool slightly, then tip everything into a food processor or blender and blitz until the soup is as smooth as you like. Or, use a hand blender (you may need to blitz the soup in batches). For an even smoother soup, you can pass it through a sieve, if you like. Once completely cool, the soup will keep chilled in a non-metallic airtight container for up to three days or frozen for up to three months.
• Crush the reserved basil leaves with a pinch of salt to a paste using a pestle and mortar. Stir this into the remaining olive oil to make a bright green basil oil. Tip the soup into a clean pan and reheat until piping hot, then ladle into bowls. Drizzle with the basil oil, then scatter with the cheesy, crunchy croutons, if using.
