Description
A comforting roasted tomato soup paired with crispy Gruyère toast, perfect for cozy evenings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs ripe tomatoes, halved
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 4 slices rustic bread
- 1 cup grated Gruyère cheese
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the halved tomatoes, onion, and garlic on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Roast the vegetables for 30–35 minutes, until the tomatoes are blistered and the onions are golden.
- Transfer the roasted vegetables to a large pot. Add vegetable broth and thyme, then bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Use an immersion blender (or blend in batches) to puree the soup until smooth. Adjust seasoning with extra salt or pepper if needed.
- While the soup is simmering, preheat the broiler. Butter the bread slices and top each with grated Gruyère. Place on a baking sheet and broil until cheese is bubbly and golden, about 2–3 minutes.
- Serve the hot tomato soup in bowls, garnished with extra thyme if desired, and top each serving with a crispy Gruyère toast.
Notes
- For a spicier soup, add a pinch of red pepper flakes while blending.
- This soup keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
