Ingredients

  • 2 (15-ounce) containers, chicken or vegetable stock/broth (preferred brand: Kitchen Basics)
  • 1 (28-ounce) can concentrated crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Coarse salt and black pepper
  • 20 leaves fresh basil, cut into chiffonade, for garnish
  • Soup toppers, for garnish, recipe follows

Directions

Combine broth and tomatoes in a medium saucepan over moderate heat. When soup bubbles, stir in heavy cream and reduce heat to low. Season with a little salt and pepper and simmer gently 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. With an immersion blender, puree soup. Serve bowls of soup with basil chiffonade and floating soup toppers.

Soup Toppers:

  • 4 slices crusty bread, 4 inches across, 1/4-inch thick-slice artisan breads at counter in market
  • 2 cloves cracked fresh garlic, optional
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 pound shredded cheese to compliment your soup: provolone, Asiago, cheddar, Gruyere, Swiss, etc.

Toast bread slices in your toaster until golden. Rub the toasted bread rounds with crushed garlic, if using. Arrange bread on cookie or baking sheet. Drizzle each slice with extra-virgin oil and top with a grind of black pepper and a layer of shredded cheese. Place under hot broiler to melt cheese until toppers are golden brown in color.

Yield: 4 servings Preparation time: 5 minutes Cooking time: 1 minute

    Awesome for a quick but tasty tomato soup. My husband said it's better than Panera Bread's and the best one i've made! I added a cup of V8 for some extra flavor and lessened the cream by a 1/4 cup. I could not find "concentrated" crushed tomatoes at my grocery store so I just got the can that said crushed tomatoes and it seemed to work fine? Served it with toasted artisan bread slices that I topped with some basil pesto, grated parmesan and shredded mozzerella cheese.. YUMMY!

    I agree... I added a can of tomato paste to deepen the tomato flavor. Delicious and simple. I would add croutons.
