CREAMED TOMATOES ON TOAST
Juicy canned tomatoes melted into fragrant cream mimic an instant cream of tomato soup. Served over toast, they make for a simple yet indulgent breakfast, or anytime snack. This dish is inspired by a recipe in "Roast Chicken and Other Stories." In the book, Simon Hopkinson writes that his version was inspired by Edouard de Pomiane's "Cooking in 10 Minutes." Hopkinson bakes fresh tomatoes in garlicky, minty cream for half an hour. The version below, with canned tomatoes, woody herbs and a hint of cinnamon, is there for you when fresh tomatoes aren't - and, like de Pomiane's approach, takes closer to 10 minutes.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, bring the cream, thyme and cinnamon stick to a simmer over medium-low heat.
- As cream comes to a simmer, drain the tomatoes (no need to rinse), discarding the juices. Add the whole tomatoes to the saucepan and bring to a simmer, breaking up the tomatoes with a wooden spoon. Cook until the tomatoes are soft and the cream is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- To eat, place a slice of toast in a shallow bowl or rimmed plate, and spoon the tomatoes and plenty of cream over the toast. Season with more black pepper, if you like.

CRISPY TOFU WITH BALSAMIC TOMATOES
You don't need to fry tofu to get it crisp-edged and golden brown. Drizzling it with a mix of cornstarch and oil, then roasting it will deliver a closely crunchy approximation that won't splatter oil across your countertop. Here, the tofu is roasted alongside balsamic-glazed cherry tomatoes, sliced garlic and red onions, all of which caramelize as they cook. Top everything with a handful of fresh herbs, then serve it over rice, quinoa or another grain for an easy, plant-based meal. Note that the recipe serves only two to three. To double it, use two sheet pans and add a few extra minutes to the cook time.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Arrange tofu slices on a clean kitchen towel or on paper towels. Cover with another kitchen towel (or paper towels) and place a flat cutting board or baking pan on top. If your cutting board or pan is lightweight, stack a few cans or a skillet on top to weigh it down. Let tofu drain for at least 15 minutes, and up to 45 minutes.
- Transfer tofu to a cutting board and cut slabs into 1-inch cubes. Pat them dry with paper towels and season both sides of the tofu with 3/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon oil, cornstarch, garlic powder (if using) and 1/2 teaspoon of the oregano. Add tofu to cornstarch mixture and gently toss until tofu is evenly coated. Dump tofu onto one side of the prepared sheet pan.
- In a large bowl, toss together tomatoes, onion, garlic, balsamic vinegar, remaining 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Drizzle in the remaining 2 tablespoons of the oil, tossing to combine.
- Arrange vegetables on other side of the prepared sheet pan. Bake until tofu is crisp and golden brown, and tomatoes are condensed, 25 to 35 minutes. Halfway through baking, flip tofu and toss vegetables while keeping the tofu and veggies separate.
- To serve, sprinkle cilantro on top and drizzle with balsamic and oil, if you'd like.
Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful the soup will be. Choose tomatoes that are deep red and free of blemishes.
- Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives the soup a smoky depth of flavor. You can roast the tomatoes in the oven or on the stovetop.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
- Don't overcook the tofu: Tofu is a delicate ingredient, so it's important to not overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery. Simmer the tofu in the soup for just a few minutes, until it is heated through.
- Season to taste: Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried basil.
Conclusion:
Cream of tomato tofu soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it can be made in just a few minutes. Try this recipe the next time you're looking for a simple and satisfying soup.
