Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, and bay leaf. Cook, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in tomatoes and their juice. Using a potato masher, mash until no pieces bigger than 2 inches remain. Stir in sugar and bread; bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until bread is completely saturated and starts to break down, about 5 minutes. Remove bay leaf and discard.
- Transfer half of soup to a blender, add 1tablespoon olive oil and process until soup is smooth and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Be extra careful when putting hot liquids in the blender. Never fill past 2/3 of the way full, and put a dish towel over the top just in case to protect your hands from getting burned by any hot liquid splashing up. Transfer to a large bowl and repeat with remaining soup and oil.
- Rinse out Dutch oven and return soup to pot. Stir in chicken broth and brandy. Return soup to a boil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle each portion with pepper and chives and drizzle with olive oil. Serve (of course) with grilled cheese sandwiches.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a medium stockpot over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic (if using), stirring constantly, until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Add tomatoes, their juices, and stock. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.
- Working in batches, transfer tomato mixture to a blender, food processor, or food mill. Puree tomato mixture (if using a blender, cover the lid with a kitchen towel while machine is running).
- Return soup to a clean pot and set over low heat. Whisk in cream, if desired; season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately or transfer soup to a bowl set over an ice-water bath to cool completely. Transfer cooled soup to an airtight container and refrigerate. Reheat over medium heat until heated through.
Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your soup will be.
- Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and makes them even sweeter. You can roast them in the oven or on a grill.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices to find the flavor combination you like best. Some popular options include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic, and black pepper.
- Don't overcook the soup: Tomato soup is best when it is slightly chunky, so don't overcook it. Simmer it for just long enough to heat it through and allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Tomato soup is delicious on its own, but it's even better with a few toppings. Some popular options include croutons, grated Parmesan cheese, fresh basil, and a swirl of olive oil.
Conclusion:
Creamy tomato soup without the cream is a delicious and healthy soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying soup, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
