TOMATO SOUP MAC AND CHEESE



Tomato Soup Mac and Cheese image

This is the mac and cheese of my childhood with a few upgrades from how my mom made it. The tangy pop from the tomatoes lets the rich blend of cheeses really shine and the crunchy topping adds great texture. There's room in my world for a variety of mac and cheese styles and this one nears the top.

Provided by Dan Langan

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the baking dish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound small or medium shell pasta (or your favorite shaped pasta!)
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
One 10.75-ounce can condensed tomato soup
1 1/4 cups milk
8 ounces sharp Cheddar, freshly grated
4 ounces sharp American deli cheese, torn into large pieces
1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs, seasoned or unseasoned
1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9-inch square (or 2-quart) baking dish with butter.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook the pasta until is al dente, about 2 minutes less than the package directions, and drain.
  • Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until foaming. Whisk in the flour, onion powder, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook for about 30 seconds.
  • Whisk in the condensed tomato soup and milk and bring to a simmer, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat, then stir in the Cheddar and American cheese with a wooden spoon. Taste for seasoning and adjust if needed.
  • Stir the cooked pasta into the sauce and pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish pan. In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan and remaining 1 tablespoon of butter with your hand, then sprinkle over the pasta.
  • Bake until the top is golden and the edges are bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of your soup. For a classic mac and cheese flavor, use a sharp cheddar cheese. You can also use a combination of cheeses, such as cheddar, Parmesan, and Gruyère.
  • Cook the macaroni al dente: This means that the macaroni should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. If you overcook the macaroni, it will become mushy and ruin the texture of the soup.
  • Make a roux: A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that is used to thicken soups and sauces. It will help to give your mac and cheese soup a creamy and velvety texture.
  • Add milk and broth gradually: When you are adding the milk and broth to the soup, do it gradually and whisk constantly. This will help to prevent the soup from curdling.
  • Season to taste: Once you have added all of the ingredients to the soup, taste it and season it with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.

Conclusion:

Mac and cheese soup is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a mac and cheese soup that is sure to please everyone at your table.
