Number Of Ingredients 11

Soup:
1 teaspoon butter or stick margarine
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
5 cups chopped seeded tomato (about 2 3/4 pounds)
2 cups 1% low-fat milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash of black pepper
Croutons:
1 garlic clove, cut in half
2 (1-ounce) slices diagonally cut French bread (about 1 inch thick)
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack or reduced-fat, reduced-sodium Swiss cheese (such as Alpine Lace)

Steps:

  • To prepare soup, melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; sauté 3 minutes. Add tomato; cook, covered, over medium heat 10 minutes. Uncover; cook until mixture is reduced to 2 cups (about 25 minutes), stirring occasionally. Place the tomato mixture in a blender, and process until smooth. Combine the tomato mixture, milk, salt, and pepper in pan, and cook mixture over medium-low heat 2 minutes or until heated. Preheat broiler.

Place 1 cup soup in each of 4 ovenproof bowls; top each serving with 1 crouton and 2 tablespoons cheese. Broil 2 minutes or until cheese is melted.
