Yowzers. This is terrific. I love how creamy this is, and the homemade croutons top it off nicely. Great with grilled cheese or mac n cheese or just by itself. I doubled the recipe, but I'll post as written.

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.
- Serve the tomato soup topped with the grilled cheese croutons.
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, ripe tomatoes, flavorful cheese, and a rich broth will make all the difference in the final flavor of your soup.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses: Cheddar, Parmesan, and Gruyère are all classic choices, but you can also try using other cheeses like Gouda, Fontina, or even goat cheese.
- Roast your tomatoes before adding them to the soup: Roasting the tomatoes will concentrate their flavor and give the soup a smoky, roasted flavor.
- Use a good quality broth: A homemade broth will always be best, but if you're short on time, a store-bought broth will work just fine.
- Don't overcook the soup: The soup is done when the cheese is melted and the tomatoes are tender, but you don't want to overcook it or the soup will become thick and gloppy.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Croutons, grated Parmesan cheese, and a dollop of sour cream are all classic toppings for tomato soup.
Conclusion:
Creamy tomato cheese soup is a delicious and comforting meal that is perfect for a cold day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this creamy tomato cheese soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
