heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat mozzarella

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Cheddar is often more affordable and still melts well.

Quarter the tomatoes, wash them well, and put them into a large pot.

Slice 2 large onions and add them to the pot with the tomatoes.

Add butter to the pot and cover it to let it melt and sauté for a bit.

Add garlic cubes to the pot and cover it again, allowing the tomatoes to soften and release their juices.

Prepare the baguette by placing it on a baking pan.

Mix olive oil, garlic cubes, parsley, salt, and dried basil in a bowl.

Brush a light amount of the olive oil mixture onto the baguette.

Sprinkle cheese evenly over the baguette.

Preheat the oven and place the baguette in the oven about 15 minutes before serving the soup.

Check the soup to ensure no water is needed and everything is soft.

Blend the soup with an immersion blender until smooth.

Add milk to the soup to thin it out, along with salt and pepper to taste.

Pour in a can of tomato sauce and mix it into the soup.

Remove the baguette from the oven and sprinkle more of the herb mixture over the melted cheese.

Slice the baguette into pieces for serving with the soup.
