Nana's Cream of Tomato Soup

Cultural Context

This comforting soup has its roots in classic American cuisine, often made from garden-fresh tomatoes. Traditionally enjoyed as a warm, hearty meal, it evokes nostalgia for many who recall family gatherings around the table. Today, variations abound, with some opting for vegan versions or adding spices for a twist.

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

1

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and some olive oil in a pot.

2

Add 1 diced onion and 2 finely diced large carrots; cook until softened, about 7 to 10 minutes.

3

Add salt, pepper, dried basil, and crushed red pepper; cook for 1 minute to warm the spices.

4

Add 56 oz of whole tomatoes and 2 cups of chicken stock; let simmer for about 30 minutes.

5

Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream, some Parmesan cheese, and fresh basil; simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

6

Use a stick blender to puree the soup until smooth, or transfer to a blender carefully due to heat.

7

In a bowl, mix 6 tablespoons of softened butter with Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, and a sprinkle of salt until combined.

8

Slice King's Hawaiian slider rolls into thirds and assemble sandwiches with mozzarella cheese.

9

Brush the garlic butter mixture on both sides of the bread.

10

Preheat the oven to 350°F and place the sandwiches on a parchment-lined baking sheet; bake for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

11

Serve the soup topped with additional Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and crushed red pepper, alongside the grilled cheese dippers.
