Roasted Tomato Cheddar Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Wash, core and cut the tomatoes into halves. Spread the tomatoes, garlic cloves and onions onto a baking tray. If using vine cherry tomatoes for garnish, add them as well, leaving them whole and on the vine. Drizzle with 1/2 cup of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 to 30 minutes, or until caramelized.
• Remove roasted tomatoes, garlic and onion from the oven and transfer to a large stock pot (set aside the roasted vine tomatoes for later). Add 3/4 of the chicken stock, bay leaves, and butter. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until liquid has reduced by a third.
• Wash and dry basil leaves, if using, and add to the pot. Remove the bay leaves before using an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Return soup to low heat, add cream and adjust consistency with remaining chicken stock, if necessary. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Garnish in bowl with 3 or 4 roasted vine cherry tomatoes and a splash of heavy cream.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Line a sheet pan with foil.
• Place the tomatoes on the prepared sheet pan and broil until charred, 4 minutes.
• Add the oil to a large pot set over high heat. Saute the garlic, onions and oregano. Reduce the heat to medium.
• Add the broiled tomatoes to the pot and mix into the sauteed onion mixture. Break up the tomatoes with the mixing spoon so they cook evenly. Add the broth, hot sauce and canned tomatoes to the pot. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the cheese, reserving 2 tablespoons for garnish, into the soup. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Simmer the soup on low for 5 minutes.
• Divide the soup among four bowls, then garnish with the reserved cheese and some Croutons.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the cubes on a sheet pan in a single layer and sprinkle the oil over the bread. Season with salt and pepper. Bake until crisp and golden, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Roasted Tomato Soup
• Preheat the oven to 300˚F (150˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, toss together the olive oil, tomatoes, onion, garlic, Savory spice blend, salt, and pepper.
• Place the tomatoes cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet and spread the onions and garlic around the pan in a single layer.
• Roast for 40 minutes, until the tomatoes have wrinkled. Leave the oven on for making the grilled cheeses.
• In a large pot over medium-high heat, combine the roasted vegetables, vegetable stock, and rice. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes, until the rice is tender. Add the diced tomatoes and balsamic vinegar and stir to combine. Remove the pot from the heat.
• Blend the soup with an immersion blender until completely smooth and creamy.
• Ladle into bowls and top with basil.
• Enjoy!
• Grilled Cheese
• If not already on, preheat the oven to 300˚F (150˚C).
• Spread 1 tablespoon of softened butter on one side of each slice of bread. Sprinkle each unbuttered side with the Savory Spice Blend. With the buttered side facing out, layer on the sliced cheddar and Havarti and top each sandwich with a second piece of buttered bread.
• In a large pan over medium heat, toast each sandwich, buttered side down, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and repeat on the other side, then transfer to a baking sheet.
• Bake the grilled cheeses for 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is gooey and fully melted.
• Cut in half on the diagonal and serve warm with roasted tomato soup.
• Enjoy!
