Lest you think I spend any part of my days doing Important Things preparing, and totally not at the last second or haphazardly, for my only childs second birthday, or for his first week of pre-preschool; assembling warm, wholesome meals for his lunch each day; meeting my manuscript deadline; dealing with the shoe bomb that went off in my closet, etc. its only fair and honest that I tell you that Ive spent a significant portion of the last year considering ways to merge grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup in a single vessel.

In a way, though, it relates to all of those things (well, not the shoes). Theres something very back-toschool-ish about tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches, and because its still September, if youre lucky, you can still get some tomatoes worth eating, and if not that, at least worth cooking down. In my imagined intersections of grilled cheese and tomato soup, I dreamed of grilled cheese croutons in oneinch rounds but rejected it for being overly precious. I considered grilled cheese bread bowls, but never worked out the logistics. But it was when I revisited the ne plus ultra combination of cheese and soup French Onion Soup this past spring that I knew unequivocally that the very best solution would be to simply broil an open-faced grilled cheese sandwich on top of a bowl of tomato soup. The only thing left to do was to wait (and wait, and wait) for the slim overlap of tomato season, soup season and a gloomy, rainy week. And that, my friends, brings us to today.

I remember not too long ago explaining all of the many reasons we believed we were not Soup People the monotony of every spoonful tasting like the one before, the way so many of them carried this boiled limp vegetables smell to them and the fact that a good lot of them were oversalted to compensate for flavor shortages or veritable bombs of heavy cream to make up for lack of body but the funniest thing happened right after that: we became them. Suddenly, we had the tiniest perspective shift and soup was not the enemy, it was our savior. It was something I could put up a big pot of a couple times a week and ensure us healthy meals that reheated perfectly. Nevertheless, I cant say weve ever reviewed our dinner options recently and said, Yay! Three day old split pea soup! or Sundays Tuscan white beans! (Were converted, but perhaps not reformed.) But day-old soup with a broiled cheddar cheese lid? I absolutely cannot wait until dinner tonight.

One year ago: Skirt Steak Salad with Blue Cheese and Monkey Cake Two years ago: Grilled Lamb Kebabs and Tzatziki and Snickerdoodles Three years ago: Spinach Quiche and Bread without a Timetable Four years ago: Apple Yogurt Cake and Chocolate Babka Five years ago: Summer Squash Soup and Giardinera Roasted Tomato Soup with Broiled Cheddar I loosely adapted the tomato soup part from an old Bon Appetit recipe, although more than quartering the oil, using less stock, no rosemary, roasting rather than sauteeing the garlic cloves and of course opening up a grilled cheese sandwich and broiling it on top. I think if the recipe could talk, it would forgive me. Serves 4 (though closer to 6 if served in mugs) Soup 3 pounds plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 large or 4 small cloves garlic, unpeeled 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves or 1/4 teaspoon dried 1/4 teaspoon (or more to taste) dried crushed red pepper 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock Lid 4 1-inch slices from a large loaf of rye bread, whole wheat sourdough or bread of your choice (or 16 1inch slices from a baguette), toasted until hard and lightly buttered on one side 1 tablespoon grated raw onion 1 cup coarsely grated cheddar (or more to taste) Make soup: Preheat oven to 400F. Wrap garlic cloves in a tight foil packet. Place tomatoes, cut side up, on large baking sheet. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper (I used 1 full teaspoon of Kosher salt). Drizzle tomatoes with olive oil. Add foil packet of garlic to tray. Roast until tomatoes are brown and tender (garlic will be very tender), about 1 hour. Cool slightly.

Unwrap garlic packet and peel cloves. Transfer cloves, tomatoes and any accumulated juices to a blender or food processor and pulse machine on and off until tomatoes are a chunky puree. Transfer tomatoes to medium pot and add thyme, crushed red pepper and stock and bring to a boil Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 25 minutes. Remove from heat and adjust seasonings to taste. Create cheddar lid: Preheat oven to 350. Arrange four ovenproof soup bowls, crocks or large mugs on a large, foil-lined baking sheet. Stir grated onion into the warm soup. (I love this last-minute suggestion of onion.) Float toast slice(s) in each bowl, buttered side up and divide grated cheese generously over top. (If youre using a wide bowl, you might find that you want more cheese to create a thick, broiled lid.) Bake soups on tray for 15 to 20 minutes, until cheese on top is bubbling and brown at the edges. If youd like it even more bronzed on top, preheat your broiler and finish soups for a minute or two under it. Serve immediately. Do ahead: Soup can be prepared one day ahead, and kept covered in the fridge. Rewarm before serving, or before finishing with cheddar crouton.

Lauren at Keep It Sweet September 20, 2011 1 That looks like the most unbelievable comfort food! Roasted tomatoes have such a wonderful flavor so I can only imagine how delicious this soup is. J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) September 20, 2011 2 That sounds divine! The broiled cheddar cheese? Swoon!! That sounds amazing. Perfect rainy days in the forecast for this. Yum! :) Ingrid September 20, 2011 3 Its so funny, I was just looking at another blog and ended up with a huge craving for tomato soup with grilled cheese. This looks like an amazing alternative! Thanks for the inspiration.

pushups with polish September 20, 2011 4 tonight. im making it! its on :) nomnom Cristin September 20, 2011 5 Absolutely gorgeous. The first photo made me think French Onion Soup, but this seems so much heartier. KB @ Home-Baked Happiness September 20, 2011 6 Oh Ive got cheddar in the fridge and garden-fresh tomatoes to use up. I think Ive gonna have to stop for chicken stock on the way home. This is perfect timing. :) Heather (Heather\'s dish) September 20, 2011 7 This could not look or sound more comforting and delicious! Erin Wilson September 20, 2011 8 Oh.my.dear.Lord. This looks so good. I wonder if I can use the roasted tomatoes I froze earlier hmmmm. Will give it a go. Molly September 20, 2011 9 Im at the point in tomato season where Im treating the last of the ruby jewels as though Im guarding them on their journey to Mordor. Could my precious little ones be forged into this lustylooking soup? Oh, I think so. Oh yes, I do. The Starving Student September 20, 2011 10 I love that you served them in mugs! It makes it look that much more comforting and hearty! Michele September 20, 2011 11 Looks so good! I made your rye bread Sunday. Now I know what to do with some of it! Brandon @ Kitchen Konfidence September 20, 2011 12 That cheddar looks unreal. Its like an American version of french onion soup. Gary @ The Greedy Fork September 20, 2011 13

Im heading to the green grocers tomorrow to see if there are any tomatoes! Looks so good. Cheese never fails, I made a French onion soup a few weeks ago. life and kitchen September 20, 2011 14 I love this idea of preparing tomato soup like onion soup! Im about to have to send lunch to school (shes only a year old, but I guess its school!) for my daughter, too. Im at a loss for good ideas. I need you to make a post over in the baby section about what to send to school for a toddler lunch! Jesse September 20, 2011 15 One of my all time favorite meals is grilled cheese sandwiches dipped in tomato soup. I love how you have combined both into one dish and I cant wait to try it! Lindsay September 20, 2011 16 Oh my goodness. The broiled cheddar crouton brings this tomato soup to whole new level! Question; do you think this soup will fare well in the freezer? I have pounds upon pounds of tomatoes that I need to use and would love to make a giant batch of this soup to freeze. Graham September 20, 2011 17 Im still enjoying your Quick and Easy Mac & Cheese, but I jazzed it up with Ground Beef, Asparagus and mushrooms. Once Im through the left-overs, Im making this soup! Emily | Nomnivorous September 20, 2011 18 Uh, its official. Deb, youre the queen of the foodgasms. The header picture got me ALL hot and bothered. Yum. Chuck September 20, 2011 19 Holy hell, I just posted about something just like this today! This looks AWESOME! Deanna B September 20, 2011 20 This is truly brilliant, and now I am wondering what other soups I can top with bread and cheese. If I werent stuck at school all day, I would be making this right now and Im not even a tomato soup person. I bet the cheese toast would be equally good on some broccoli soup. kitchen witch jenny September 20, 2011 21 The perfect soup for the seasonour gardens are just beginning to produce giant bowlfuls of ripe

tomatoes, and frost threatens. This would be a great way to concentrate that harvest! Do you think the soup would freeze well (without the topping of course)? RG September 20, 2011 22 Yup, the intersection of tomato season and cold is slim and wonderful. I oven roasted 14 pounds of romas. I suspect they will not make it to the freezer. EG September 20, 2011 23 I dont like tomato soup. But I love roasted tomatoes, and this looks amazing! Francheska, just dont read the blog if it offends you. But if you havent tasted the difference between a summer tomato and a winter tomato, please go find yourself a summer tomato stat! Diana Mieczan September 20, 2011 24 Oh my goodness..you just made my day, Deb. I am such a grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup type of girl! I used to really dislike soups but when I moved to Europe and everyone here ate them, I totally changed my mind and now I could eat them all the time. Cant wait to try this recipeYahoo! Btw: I adore that photo of your little cutieHe is adorable:) BoxwoodTerrace September 20, 2011 25 This looks delicious! I may have to cut corners to save time and use canned tomatoes instead though (wince). Kathryn September 20, 2011 26 I think I could actually live on this and this alone. life and kitchen September 20, 2011 27 Actually, now that Im looking, the finger foods post is a good start to lunch packing ideas! Mia September 20, 2011 28 I pressure canned a roasted tomato soup recently. The recipe I used said to add milk or cream when heating it after canning. So I really do not like dairy (and it doesnt like me), I am going to try adding the cheddar cheese crouton to the top when I heat it. I can tolerate dairy when it is melted as cheese. Oh weather get cold again! And I will have to see if I can get more tomatoes this weekend to make more of the soup to pressure can now.

dasmaedchenmitdenlocken September 20, 2011 29 wow. that looks amazing! jessie lee September 20, 2011 30 Whoa. These look so delicious and simple. Doin it!Im mentally calculating if my mugs will fit under my broiler. They look SO cute. Grace September 20, 2011 31 Considering throwing away all of my cooking plans for the week to make thisbut the most important question is: Where does one find good bread in NYC? I just moved from San Francisco, and I am yet to find adquate bread in Manhattan. What bread are you using here? Louise (Kitchen Fiddler) September 20, 2011 32 I only have one word to say about this: GENIUS. Anu September 20, 2011 33 LOVE Grace September 20, 2011 34 Also where does one find Carrot Cake donuts? JK September 20, 2011 35 Heh, I was slurping down some tomato soup when I came across this post. The onset of cooler weather is a bummer in some ways, but I just LOVE cold-weather food so that makes the transition easier! This looks divine. On the to do list for this weekend for sure. Tiff @ Love Sweat and Beers September 20, 2011 36 That sounds heavenly. Thanks for the idea. deb September 20, 2011 37 Grace I should tell you that I bought it at the Union Square Greenmarket along with my tomatoes, but I forgot to pick up bread and grabbed it at Whole Foods across the street. It was from a local bakery, rye bread, seedless. You can get excellent bread from Sullivan Street Bakery, Balthazar, and a few other places but many of them also distribute to Whole Foods, if youre shopping there anyway.

Carrot cake doughnut Was excellent (I stole a bite! mean mama!) and from the Doughnut Plant. However, the very best doughnut from there has always been and will always be the creme brulee doughnut. It is tiny, filled with vanilla bean pastry cream and bruleed on top. Like, for real. Clara Artschwager September 20, 2011 38 Im speechless. Youre a genius Deb! Itd be fun to play around with different types of Cheddar or cheese, something indulgent like brie would be so fun. Thanks! B. Thomas September 20, 2011 39 YUM YUM YUM!! My stomach just audibly growled at my desk. I cant wait to try this, so perfect for this cold, wet weather in the city. Do you use a blender, rather than an immersion blender, because it leaves it chunkier? To avoid tomato chunks, which I dont care for, do you think blending it super well would alter anything? I shouldnt think so. Ill be sure to let you know if I try it this weekend! Bonnie Pierce September 20, 2011 40 One quick question- is there several different types of garlic???? iN your recipe it says garlic, UNREELED..where can i find that type? Will regular garlic be ok? Sarah Mo September 20, 2011 41 This looks amazing! Your photography is fantastic. AND: I cant wait to try this recipe. Thanks in advance! Diane September 20, 2011 42 I LOVE this ideato be honest, Im not sure I would make the tomato soup from scratch (unless I have loads of time & tomatos. But this idea would work with good-old Cambells just fine I think (I like my Cambells Tomato Soup made with 1/2 milk/1/2 cream mixture instead of water) The bread topper with \broiled cheese is brilliant!!!Thanks so much for sharing candace September 20, 2011 43 YEAHHH YEAHHHHH YEAH!!! I purchased tomatoes last week because i wanted to try out a recipe for tomato soup and now youve posted one! yeah!! yeah!! yeah!! oh, how I love you, smitten kitchen, I love you!!! deb September 20, 2011 44 Bonnie It was supposed to say unpeeled. Just a typo. You leave your cloves unpeeled. You peel them after they roast. Liz Steinbrueck September 20, 2011 45

Amazing as always. I get so excited when I see youve posted something. I can almost smell this through your photos. Mal @ The Chic Geek September 20, 2011 46 This looks absolutely wonderful! I love the bread and melted cheese on top, and that its all in a mug, so perfect and homey. Susanne September 20, 2011 47 I am on a tomato soup kick. In fact, Im eating it right now! I cant tell you how excited I am about this recipe and look forward to trying it. Im also glad you eschew heavily creamed soups as well. Jessica @ Stylish Stealthy and Healthy September 20, 2011 48 I am so happy its soup season and veggies are prime for roasting. Its a shame I dont have 4 matching mugs Krista September 20, 2011 49 So brilliant. Happy Birthday, Jacob! SoupAddict September 20, 2011 50 I do remember when you werent soup people. I tried not to take it personally. :) But now, youre talkin my language. Grilled cheese tomato soup? [Applause!] Youll be completely reformed yet, youll see. ;) Julie @ Willow Bird Baking September 20, 2011 51 Now THIS! THIS is a phenomenal idea! Kat Jackson September 20, 2011 52 mmmmmmmm.. my husband just bought me a beautiful, heavy set of french onion soup bowls as my sons like to call them. I am excited to give them a taste of something new!! Thanks! Food Jaunts September 20, 2011 53 I love this idea! Im not much of a soup person either (although Im trying to change that) and this might just be the dish that changes my mind Katelyn @ Pure Panache September 20, 2011 54

Looks unbelievable! Grilled cheese and tomato soup go together so perfectly, but it always felt a little childish to me (maybe because the last time I ate them together I was a child myself). Thanks for introducing a grown-up version! Seanna Lea September 20, 2011 55 This is awesome looking. I have ramekins that I could put to good use with this. It isnt exactly a quick dinner, but it has the advantage of lots of down time. Rachel @ Not Rachael Ray September 20, 2011 56 Oh manI need to cook some of this up RIGHT NOW! Looks amazing! Love that you served it in mugsI always eat my soup out of a big mug. Perfection! Stephie September 20, 2011 57 I was trying to think of what would go well with your mushroom bourgignon recipe, I think this will be perfect! Making this on Thursday for sure! I cant wait!! So. Much. Cheese! :D Meghan September 20, 2011 58 This looks so comforting, I cant wait to try it. Im looking at the photos while at my office preparing for my tutorials tonight and its just torture. Im a big tomato soup fan but havent mustered up the courage to make it from scratchbut this might change that. Sioban September 20, 2011 59 I havent made many of your recipes (yet), but I always read them. Your writing is like warm blankets. Ann P. September 20, 2011 60 how did you know i wanted grilled cheese and tomato soup?! Ive been looking for a roasty-good recipe for about a week now, and then this happened! It was fate. :) I have to try it ASAP! Kathryn | Dramatic Pancake September 20, 2011 61 This is so inventive yet cozy and familiar at the same time. Soup is one of my favorite things about fall I am definitely looking forward to making this on a crisp, rainy night! Marte September 20, 2011 62 Im a Dutch girl and I really, really like this recipe. It looks so comforting for a cold and rainy day, which is like every day in Holland. And what a perfect way to make a good soup better: add a lot of cheese! So thank you, I know what Ill be eating this winter!

Laura @ SweetSavoryPlanet September 20, 2011 63 I cant imagine anything better right now. My tomatoes are done the excessive rain made sure of that. There are still some at the markets! Yummy Mummy September 20, 2011 64 You had me at the idea of soup with cheesy stuff baked in a mug! And all those beautiful tomatoes mean it MUST be delicious. Bev Weidner September 20, 2011 65 I could cry myself to sleep looking at this. BEAUTIFUL. ELizabeth September 20, 2011 66 Im absolutely making this this weekend! Its brilliant! And living in North Carolina means we have plenty of tomatoes left. Thank you! Jane M September 20, 2011 67 AAAH what a soup! Wish it were a bit colder today and not so HUMID and yukky out. Looks like a dandy! Hope the wee 1 had a happy pappy birfday too! ruthie@thetwicebitten September 20, 2011 68 With food as yummy as that bring on Autumn. Shaheen September 20, 2011 69 Oooh this looks so good. I have tomatoes, cheese and Gruyere sitting on the counter! Joy September 20, 2011 70 This looks amazing and totally scrumptious! Alex September 20, 2011 71 I do the open-faced-grilled-cheese-sandwich-topper out of the gruyere croutons from your winter squash soup post. Just made it yesterday in fact so your timing is impeccable! it has become a staple in my fall/winter arsenal. looking forward to roasting the tomatoes.

Naina @ chow bella September 20, 2011 72 In one post, you have taken two amazing dishes (roasted tomato soup and grilled cheese) and made them into one awesome idea, especially as we head into the end of summer. I have a very tiny kitchen and no real kitchen appliances beyond a toaster oven. Is there any cool trick to impart a roasted flavor into tomato puree (because I have neither a blender nor a food processor)? Sarah September 20, 2011 73 What are your thoughts on some of the last of the season heirloom tomatoes that are all over the place now? Would those work? Or is plum really the way to go? HomemadeMother September 20, 2011 74 Making this tonight with organic tomatoes I picked up from the farmers market today. Had no idea what I was going to do with them when I bought them, so thanks for this great idea! Stephanie Wise September 20, 2011 75 I literally gasped in delight when I saw this. There are no words to adequately describe how urgently I need to make this in my kitchen. Serious yum. Kiran @ KiranTarun.com September 20, 2011 76 That looks simply amazing, Deb. I have some gorgeous tomatoes lying around in the crisper. Gotta make this recipe before fall comes in, full swing. Cant believe the little one is already 2 years old. Time flies :) Sam September 20, 2011 77 I love roasted tomato soup. This is like roasted tomato soup and grilled cheese all in one bowl. Perfect. I just wish I had tomatoes instead of green beans hanging out in my fridge waiting to be turned into dinner countrymouse cooks September 20, 2011 78 Oh dear, I live in a country of no cheddar cheese. What can I substitute? (Seriously, none. Except in some hole in Jerusalem, very far away) The Rowdy Chowgirl September 20, 2011 79 Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! I think youve accompished an Important Thing here! Danielle September 20, 2011

Amanda (onceuponarecipe) September 20, 2011 81 Now, if thats not comfort food, I dont know what is. Delicious! Simply Life September 20, 2011 82 Oh I LOVE this idea! Sense of Home Kitchen September 20, 2011 83 Love soup, it is my comfort food, well that and cookies. And tomato soup with grilled cheese is a classic, so brilliant idea combining the two. I like the idea of roasting the tomatoes first, I just canned 9 quarts of tomato soup, but no matter, I will now have to try your roasted tomato soup recipe. ~Brenda Jessica September 20, 2011 84 I have been looking for a tomato soup recipe and this looks fantastic! thanks again Deb! Rebecca September 20, 2011 85 An American in Paris recipe variationmy very favorite! I cant wait to try this, although Im liable to add a Tbsp or two of good ale before simmering. Thanks for the unending stream of home runs. I so look forward to SK in my reader :-) Jabber September 20, 2011 86 The only think that could make this better is a bacon crumble topping. Too bad for the heat wave in SF or else this would be on the dinner table tonight. Cant wait to try! Gwen September 20, 2011 87 When this popped up on my screen, I literally went, Oh my Lord out loud. Luckily, Im at home, so it wasnt embarrassing. Until I just told the internet about it. But I think youll understand. I will try this TOMORROW. Post-haste. Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga September 20, 2011 88 Deb this looks sooo good!

I love the 1st picture with the melty cheese on the side of the cups. So authentic and what a great shot. Makes me want to dive in! Misty in Utah September 20, 2011 89 Heavens to Betsy! What a beautiful recipe and set of pics. :) Laurel September 20, 2011 90 I am definitely making this one! I am still pulling red, ripe tomatoes from my moms garden and was just contemplating what I should make with them. This looks absolutely divine. We want to be soup people, but it never happens. I think this may be a revolution. Kaitlyn @ Almond Oats. September 20, 2011 91 That looks absolutely amazing. I wish there were still tomatoes around here so I could make this! Christine @ The Pantry Drawer September 20, 2011 92 thatlooksamazing. The thing I love most about the cold weather is the tomato soup and adding cheese to that is definitely not a bad thing! deb September 20, 2011 93 Rebecca I was obsessed with using beer in this soup. It demanded it! I would have added it at the point where you sauteed some onion or whatnot, to deglaze the pan and then really cook it out, but the step wasnt necessary. So no beer. But I agree with you that it would be a nice fit with rye bread, thyme and broiled cheddar. Carolyn September 20, 2011 94 i HAVE to make this!! last fall i made your butternut squash soup and ive been waiting all year to make it again.. must add this to the list of soups dragon fruit September 20, 2011 95 holyy sh*t this looks ABSOLUTELY incredible. Rhonda September 20, 2011 96 Now if we could just get cooler weather. Love tomato soup and grilled cheese and beats tearing up the grilled cheese to plunk into the soup. Michele September 20, 2011 97

Had to come back to tell you this was SO GOOD! Even the tomato soup haters in my family wanted some. I hate to say it, but Campbells Soup kind of ruined tomato soup for me. This is tomato soup. Sure doesnt hurt that gorgeous plum tomatoes are 59 cents a pound this week. Would it freeze okay? Skye September 20, 2011 98 Deb, I really want to give this a try, but we dont have anything oven-proof and cup-shaped around the house. :( Do you think I could pull off the cheddar lid in a casserole pan? Daria & Jarek September 20, 2011 99 wow, this looks absolutely beautiful, very rustic and . sorry, Im speechless im running to the kitchen to roast my tomatoes for tomorrow :) winegirl September 20, 2011 100 Glass of wine in hand (duh) I saw this, looked 12 inches to my left at the pile of tomatoes and said (to the tomatoes) ha ha ha tomatoes you are mine! Ive always hated Campbells tomato soup *thanks Michele* (please dont be mad at me everyone else in America). But grilled cheese in any form is welcome. Oh yes soup, you will be made. Part of you may be frozen for a brutal Illinois winter evening, but you will know that someday you will be loved! Cant wait for the cookbook! Samantha September 20, 2011 101 We had every intention of making your French onion soup tonight to warm our hearts on this rainy cold New England day. But then you had to go and post this recipe and throw us for a loop We couldnt resist! Im glad we changed our mind. This soup is amazing. Thank you thank you thank you!! deb September 20, 2011 102 Skye You can do it in a large dish, yes, like a casserole, or even your soup pot (which is probably oven-proof, or at least, most are to a certain temperature). You can also make cheesy toasts on a baking sheet, and float them in the soup when youre done. Beth @ Kitchen Minions September 20, 2011 103 oh yum. I love that its open faced, so much better with less bread. emily@http://scrambledpreservedfriedcured.wordpress.com/ September 20, 2011 104 This is perfect for a day at my desk tomorrow, especially with the last of the farm tomatoes we have. Thanks! (ps rye bread with celeriac-beer soup with cheese)

Kate September 20, 2011 105 O.M.G. Here I am, lying in bed catching up on some blog reading. And now that Ive seen the photos and read the recipe, Im lying here thinking about how quickly I can find good roma tomatoes and cheddar (criminal, I know, that I have none in the fridge). I do believe a trip to Whole Foods is in order and a trip to the liquor store for some good ale (what a great suggestion!) as well. And, Im thinking that a sausage might be nice with this as well Kara September 20, 2011 106 Oh my goshthis looks amazing! I can not wait to try this. I think you hit the nail on the head! Grilled cheese AND tomato soup, awesome! Christine September 20, 2011 107 Funny, when I was a child we would put a little handful of cubes of cheese in the bottom of our tomato soup mugs and then scoop up the dangling strands of tomato-ey melted cheese into our mouths, trying to keep from getting too much of it on our chins. I havent had that in a long timemight be time to revisit! Ranjani September 20, 2011 108 Yep, you are a genius. Kelly Tanaka September 20, 2011 109 Canned you used canned tomatoes? If so what kind would you recommend? Anna September 20, 2011 110 ooo its like an onion soup model but i think i will like this so much better than onion soup. Stephie @ Eat Your Heart Out September 20, 2011 111 Oh. My. Goodness. When I was growing up, Sunday was my familys lazy day. This meant going to church, coming home and having a big lunch, and sleeping/watching tv/reading for the rest of the day. Somewhere along the line, our big lunch turned into a traditional Sunday lunch of soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. (The only thing better? In the summer pairing your grilled cheese with fruit salad). This blows my mind; it totally takes my familys Sunday tradition to a whole new level. Might just have to try this one out for myself =) Scho September 20, 2011 112

Oh my god Deb you are KILLING me with this. I have been reading for a long time, but this is the first thing I have read which made me groan out loud. Its still too hot for soup! I bow down to you, lady. BOMB DOT COM. Kathy in St Louis September 20, 2011 113 Deb! Am I reading this wrong or did you forget to say that the broth goes in the pot with the pulsed tomatoes? My tomatoes are broiling right now, and Im using my own chicken broth. Neha September 20, 2011 114 Mmmmm, soup : ) And that boy just keeps getting cuter! Allison September 20, 2011 115 Deb, I know this isnt chocolate cake, but I think youve outdone yourself. This recipe looks killer. Thank you! Vrushali September 20, 2011 116 Cant wait to make this. Already imagining how well itll go with bread soup bowls!!! Thanks Deb!!!! Carol September 20, 2011 117 my favourite part of this recipe is you just pureed the tomatoes skin on. Ive got a ton of tomatoes now and am preparing to make sauce etc and the last thing I want to do is peel them. cheers deb! you are my hero! peony blossom September 21, 2011 118 it looks soo delicious!! Tracy Collins September 21, 2011 119 This sounds amazing, I just found your site today and am looking forward to making this soon. We have had a year of drought and my Italian tomato tree is finally starting to produce. The tomatoes are similar to San Marzanos, do you think they would be okay for this? January September 21, 2011 120 This is what I have been waiting for all along. (Although I think that about most things that incorporate cheese). I am crossing my fingers for rain or some dreariness in my southern California life. Please.

Adrianna from A Cozy Kitchen September 21, 2011 121 Good gracious!! This thing looks insane! I French Onion Soup-ed a white bean soup a few months ago and decided its a super smart move on all sorts of soup. Kate M. September 21, 2011 122 There are few things better than roasted tomatoes. Yummy! THis soup looks delightful. Stacy L. September 21, 2011 123 My mouth is watering! Who knew the idea of tomato soup could be so exciting. Jennifer September 21, 2011 124 i love itespecially the roasted tomato part. the soup must have incredible flavor! youre amazing, because youre actually making me crave tomato soup for the first time ever! Niki of SI September 21, 2011 125 This is calling out to me on the next rainy Seattle day. Which will probably be tomorrow. I can almost smell this combo that was made for each other, through my screen. Jennifer Barnaby September 21, 2011 126 The fabulous end of summer plum tomatoes from Sicily are just arriving here in northern Italy/south of France so Im going to make your soup this weekend. I like how you roasted the garlic instead of adding it to the tomatoes. I think Im going to plop some burrata on top of the toasted bread instead of the cheddar though Im not ready to give up summer quite yet! Madeleine September 21, 2011 127 Ha, funny ! Im French and we dont usually melt bread and soup like this, exept, as you said, in the onion soup, which I only ate oncebut you make me want to try again ! Fred September 21, 2011 128 Great way to revisit the onion soup concept! FYI, I sometimes add freshly ground ginger in my tomato soup, its a nice combo. Caffettiera September 21, 2011 129 You really have a talent for soup, especially since the Im not soup people claim! I am dying for this presentation but I am not too sure my mugs will survive the oven. Did you buy special oven proof ones or just use regular ones?

Rachel Willen September 21, 2011 130 Yesa good idea for the last hurrah of tomatoes from the garden. And Im thinking of dragging out those big brown crocks I have (think, the 70s) with the little knubby handles for this. I like the cup idea, but Im thinking the crocks will let me get away with more cheese per bite! hillary September 21, 2011 131 I had the same thought this past weekend, only without the cheddar crouton. Thankfully, there are left overs. Marie-Ora September 21, 2011 132 This is absolutely genius. I love French Onion Soup, and Ive always loved roasted tomato soup (altho I have to include a drop of cream), I love grilled (we call them toasted) cheese sandwiches, but Ive never thought of this combination. The best of all worlds, and then some Connie September 21, 2011 133 Wow it is 6am and I just read this recipe. Breakfast today will be roasted tomatoe cheddercheese soup. Now Im really hungry! Johanna September 21, 2011 134 This makes me look forward to rainy, grey days! Katrina September 21, 2011 135 This sounds absolutely scrumptious! adam September 21, 2011 136 looks messy but what amazing photos! Just looking into getting a slow cooker actually for soups and stews. Anyone got any suggestions? Should inject more flavor into my veggie creations and keep after-work prep down.. The Sweet Cupcaker September 21, 2011 137 yum! im sick currently and this looks amazing! Martha in KS September 21, 2011 138 You had me at PRESCHOOL. Ive heard that parents have to get their newborns on waiting lists for schools, but do they really start to preschool before their 2nd birthdays?

tariqata September 21, 2011 139 Ive had a learned taste aversion to tomato soup since I was about 7 years old, but this may make me get over it! I would far rather get the creaminess from a lid of delicious melty cheddar than a heavy shot of cream directly in the soup. Lana @ Never Enough Thyme September 21, 2011 140 This soup is pretty close to perfection Id say. Its 8:30 a.m. and I want this now. For breakfast. Susie September 21, 2011 141 What a great idea! I never thought about topping anything but french onion soup with some crusty bread and cheese! And using the mugs was a great idea too! I am definitely going to try this!! Jessica September 21, 2011 142 Yummy! Tomato soup is one of my all-time favorite foods deb September 21, 2011 143 Caffettiera I think they should say whether theyre oven proof, or might have where you bought them. If youre not sure, though, dont wing it. Kathy No, for once, no typo. ;) It says to transfer tomatoes to the pot and add thyme, pepper and stock. Kristin September 21, 2011 144 Yum. Tomato soup and grilled cheese are one of my favorite combos. I cannot wait to make this. Bree September 21, 2011 145 Looks like fabulous comfort food! Steffany September 21, 2011 146 This looks WONDERFUL. Made stuffed pepper soup last night. I used to be like you not a soup person, but now I am all about easy, healthy, filling, soups every so often ! Anne September 21, 2011 147 My son asked me to buy a can of condensed tomato soup while we were grocery shopping Sunday. He lamented on never having had tomato soup with grilled cheese. I told him that he

wouldnt like it (the canned soup). Now I can whip this up and let him know that THIS is the way to have GCand tomato soup. wendy September 21, 2011 148 where oh where did you get that ladel? i must have one! Matt September 21, 2011 149 Looks delicious, Deb. You omitted the basil from the Bon Appetit recipe. Was this intentional? Sara September 21, 2011 150 Thanks for the great recipe. Grilled cheese with tomato soup is one of my top comfort foods. redpenmamapgh September 21, 2011 151 Thank you. I have been really struggling with what to do with all the tomatoes I get from my CSA. A good problem to have. This is going on the menu for this weekend! Meghan September 21, 2011 152 Absolutely amazing presentation. I really just want to wrap my hands around one of those mugs. Yum, thanks! Lauren @ hey, who cut the cheese? September 21, 2011 153 This is such fabulous comfort food, and simple to make, too! The only thing that would make it better is if it had some basil. Thanks for sharing! deb September 21, 2011 154 Matt Yes. Among my soup gripes I that I spared you guys in the post (ha) was that I find that too many tomato soups taste like tomato sauce. I wanted this to be clearly differentiated thyme, not basil, roasted garlic, no cooked onion, etc. I was hoping for a flavor that suggested great pub food, not just great Italian restaurant. Hope that clarifies (exactly how much I overthink stuff, heh). Wendy I got it just recently, actually, from Amazon. Nan September 21, 2011 155 Over think? No wayI wish I had your brain and some of that soup right now! xo, Nan Diana @ frontyardfoodie September 21, 2011 156

Oh my goodness that looks amazing! I LOVE the play on grilled cheese and tomato soup. Gorgeous. JanetP September 21, 2011 157 Yes, that ladle is very cool! And this soup sounds fantastic, what a great idea. Thanks, Deb! Lorelei September 21, 2011 158 Wow, this looks absolutely mouth watering! I gotta try this. The cheese on top reminds me of one of my favourites french onion soup:) Amy J September 21, 2011 159 I cant wait to try this- grilled cheese & tomato soup (& variations of) is still one of my favorites. Happy Fall to you.. Dalnapen September 21, 2011 160 Bravo, Deb. As if Fall hadnt enough enticementsSOUP! Kind of missed you these last few days! What does the little boy say about school? Stacey September 21, 2011 161 Here I am, in my kitchen, waiting for my Smitten Kitchen Cream of Tomato Soup to finish its final ten-minute simmer. While I was waiting, I decided to peruse the site to see whats new and LO AND BEHOLD there was a new tomato soup recipe! Deb, what do you think about the older recipe versus this new one? Lemon September 21, 2011 162 Sounds like a great idea, making a French Onion Style Soup with tomatos. I love tomato soups of any kind. Francesca September 21, 2011 163 oh my goodness that looks delicious! deb September 21, 2011 164 Hi Stacey Still love the old one and it can be used year round because it uses canned tomatoes. This one is best with fresh ones. The other is more of a Campbells-style soup, for people who grew up on the canned stuff. It also has cream in it, its a cream of tomato soup. This is more rustic, fresh and chunky.

Dalnapen Hes starting to warm up to it, but hes already caught a cold and is home sick. Boo. Hopefully it will get easier going forward. Claiborne September 21, 2011 165 This recipe arrived on the heels of 20 lbs. of plum tomatoes, so thanks! Will be making extra to freeze for the winter. Dave J. September 21, 2011 166 Im totally trying this, very soon! One note: Americas Test Kitchen advises sprinkling a tiny bit of brown sugar over tomatoes before roasting them, and Ive found that this does indeed impart a fuller, richer flavor. Just a thought. Becky September 21, 2011 167 Weird bizarro-world moment. THIS is exactly what I made for dinner last night (minus lids. I made cheddar/monterry grilled cheese on sourdough instead) I took a different recipe, and tweaked it up, including the little foil packet of garlic on the side. It was awesome. I also added a tbsp of brown sugar and 1.5 or so of balsamic during simmer time and let the whole thing reduce by almost half. I wish I had put in shallots at the beginning. I felt it was missing some oniony-goodness Lea September 21, 2011 168 I just made this soup and it was amazing! And the best thing, my mother who normally doesnt like tomato soup loved this one. Thank you for this recipe. Lea Andrea Maletta-Bussel September 21, 2011 169 How divine! This recipe reminds me of a baked cauliflower and tomato sauce dish that was smothered with cheese. You should try par-boiling some cauliflower, mixing it with your soup(not too much though!) and then baking with the cheese. Super-Fab! Stephanie September 21, 2011 170 Hi Deb, Can this be made with round tomatoes? I have extra of a few round varieties from my garden, but not many plum tomatoes. Id love to use them up. Have you tried freezing this soup? Stoich91 September 21, 2011 171 Beautiful soup! Also, no flickr account, so I just wanted to leave a comment here about how brilliantly adorable baby jacob is and the balloonSO CUTEEEE!!! SQUEE! Thanks for sharing. I totes feel cheated we couldnt hear the BLOON part. I want to hear his leetle voice! :D

hahaha kelly @ paper doll theory September 21, 2011 172 omigoodness that looks delicious and so comforting. perfect for the current season. i also saw an article in the nytimes where you talked about using scales in the kitchen. really cool! love kelly deb September 21, 2011 173 Other varieties of tomatoes I dont see why not, but if theyre larger, theyd probably need a longer roasting time. KP September 21, 2011 174 Im geeked about this post.grilled cheese and tomato soup was already the worlds best combo, but grilled cheese IN tomato soup makes my head want to explode. Making it tonight(and sharing the link with my friends). Ive been lurking but have tried several recipes with great success. Thanks and keep up the good work! Sophie S September 21, 2011 175 Hello, you are my hero! Shannon September 21, 2011 176 Im a rebel, I eat soup all year long and I live in a warm climate. There are so many good summer soups! Roasted Italian red pepper soup for one, among many others. Will definitely try this before tomatoes disappear at the market in the next few weeks. Alex September 21, 2011 177 What a great serving idea. It looks amazing, perfect for the slightly cooler nights as autumn sets in. Audrey in Oregon September 21, 2011 178 Deb, I saw this in my email this morning and knew what to do with the beautiful tomatoes my neighbor blessed me with. I roasted them this morning, took a quart of stock out of the freezer and cant wait to throw it together for dinner. (Think Ill invite the neighbors too). Why wouldnt this keep for a few days?

Khushboo @ Two Megapixel Food September 21, 2011 179 God, this is like having liquid pizza! Shannon at Hey Bayles! Farm September 21, 2011 180 Just finished making this for my farmer husband and myself. Scrumptous. And so obvious that it is brilliant. I am sure I am not the first to wish for a Smitten RestaurantI am dying for you to try: raw kale chopped in fine ribbons tossed with pine nuts, currants, parm, olive oil, lemon juice and honey. You might convert. To kale, that is. claudia September 21, 2011 181 Deb, this looks delicious and I am not usually a tomato soup fan. But, this has bite and sounds brilliant. However, those cups just dont do it justice. They need to have a wider top and one or even two handles. Sorry the potter in me just couldnt eat that beautiful dish out of those cups. Thanks for your wonderful blog. I have been a loyal fan for three years since i decided to make my nieces wedding cake. Your directions gave me the support that I needed. liz September 21, 2011 182 oh my gosh, broiled cheese over anything would make gloomy fall days better. Kim September 21, 2011 183 Just in time! I have a bowl of vine ripened tomatoes and Ive been looking for a good tomato soup recipe to make with grilled cheese and here it is in my email, thanks to you! Bless your heart, youve saved me! Now to see about getting to the store for some broth I cant believe Im out. Suzy September 21, 2011 184 Instead of processing the tomatoes before adding them to the stock, could I add them to the pot whole and then use an immersion blender to pulse for a few rounds? Or would I be missing out on something? Michelle September 21, 2011 185 I cannot get over how good this looks. Im literally drooling right now. agnespterry September 21, 2011 186 That looks delicious. I will totally do this next time tomatoes are on sale at Meijers. (who knows when that will be.) I think Id just do a grilled cheese sandwich on the side, though, rather than on top. I am not sure how our mugs would handle being broiled, and the edges look like theyd be a pain to clean up! :-

But hey, you really shouldnt be coming up with recipes that make me go slack-jawed and drooly. Its a crime!) The Food Hunter September 21, 2011 188 This looks so good Elina September 21, 2011 189 Made this today and it was drop dead delicious! I didnt have any dried pepper at home but i seasoned it with oregano instead and it worked wonderfully. Superyummy soup, I must do it again! Mary September 21, 2011 190 Yes, please!!! Oh how this tugs at my little heart strings! My two favorite comfort foods in one warm mug :D !! Youre and inspiration! keren September 21, 2011 191 Just pulled my mugs out of the oven with this delicious tomato soup. I am desperately waiting for it too cool a bit! Natalie September 21, 2011 192 SO good! A great fall recipe for a cold night! deb September 21, 2011 193 Suzy Would probably work but it will take longer to cook them into a soup consistency, starting with big chunks like that. Audrey I was actually deferring to what the Bon Appetit recipe I riffed off of suggested. To be honest, I never understood keep suggestions, being the sort of person who sniffs something before I eat it rather than going by an arbitrary number of days. But, if I were to take a guess, it would probably be because the soup is so fresh. The tomatoes arent really fully cooked down and might be funky after a couple days. Not that ours stuck around long enough for us to find out. :) Lara September 21, 2011 194

You know, Ive never been much of a tomato soup fan, but I think this recipe may have just converted me. Nic@diningwithastud September 21, 2011 195 Tomato soup is my favourite and when you add cheese to anything, it becomes fab :) Donna @ Cooking + Praying September 21, 2011 196 DebUnbeatable combinationtomatoes and cheese. Ive had the same thing on my mind, different variation. You have to try the recipe my daughter-in-law gave me. Its an heirloom tomato tart with a lot of parmesan cheese in the crust. http://donnaxander.blogspot.com/2011/09/womanhood-piecrust-and-rachels-tomato.html Karen September 21, 2011 197 This soup looks amazing! I cant wait to try it. Thanks for the recipe. Christopher Nguyen September 21, 2011 198 Ive never seen this made like this! I LOVE IT! I want some! :D Im definitely sitting in my dorm in the late hours slowly becoming hungry. I just ate too. Its great! xD Jessica September 21, 2011 199 Just made this soup with your mustard roasted potatoes on the side for dinner. Looking forward to tomato soup leftovers at work. Also looking forward to having a poached egg on top of the leftover potatoes for breakfast tomorrow. Thanks to you Im getting three meals out of one! KMac September 21, 2011 200 I made this for dinner and it was heavenly! Thank you for the great inspiration!! JB September 21, 2011 201 Just made this for dinner, and it was a perfect late summer/early fall dish. That cheddar crouton was amazing! I added a little balsamic vinegar to the soup since my tomatoes werent looking like they would live up to the wonders of the crouton. Thanks for the recipe! kristin@ www.freshequation.blogspot.com September 21, 2011 202 This sounds delicious. I cant wait to try it this weekend! Rabekah September 21, 2011 203

I made this for dinner tonight with tomatoes, onions, and thyme from the garden. So delicious! However, I need to find a gluten-free substitute for the bread because I omitted that from mine and all my cheese sunk to the bottom (it still tasted fabulous). Everyone elses looked great. Thanks Deb! Jennifer September 22, 2011 204 Tried it and LOVED it! But I left in all the olive oil and even added butter (gasp!) because, you know, I remembered your last post on tomato sauce and knew the butter would be wonderful! :) Isabel September 22, 2011 205 Oh man, I die. This was insanely delicious!!! Deb, this recipe embodies everything I love about your blog. Thanks once again!! PercentBlog September 22, 2011 206 I am currently resisting fall since were finally getting truly warm, sunny days in Berkeley. Im pulling out shorts that havent been worn since my move from the East Coast midsummer. These soup cups may make me okay with the oncoming chilly days, though. I will miss tomatoes when they are through for the year. Julie September 22, 2011 207 One quick question- is there several different types of garlic???? iN your recipe it says garlic, UNREELED..where can i find that type? Will regular garlic be ok? Clarkii September 22, 2011 208 Gorgeous! That bubbly, oozy cheese lid completely makes it! It looks like you blended a few cheddars together, what kind did you use? I imagine a sharp Vermont would be tasty. Girl In An Apron September 22, 2011 209 Holy crap! Your photos are killing meI just ate breakfast and am hungry again. Gorgeous! Noelle September 22, 2011 210 I have been making tomato soup/grilled cheese like this for years! I just dont have a blog to tell the world about it! Dag nabbit! ana {bluebirdkisses} September 22, 2011 211 This soup looks amazing and so easy to make! Im bookmarking it to try myself this weekend :) Laurel September 22, 2011

212 Made it. Loved it. Now Im going to write about it. It was a hit! Everybody was going on about it, even my 5 year old and 3 year old loved it. They were all trying to think of other things that flavor would be great with i.e. as salsa, pizza sauce, spaghetti sauce, chili, etc. Thanks so much! Bocaj September 22, 2011 213 Great recipe! I made this last night, except I added a bunch of veggies and chicken to make a single-bowl dinner out of it. Delicious! Dan September 22, 2011 214 Made it last night, delicious! It reminded me of your baked potato soup (http://smittenkitchen.com/2011/01/baked-potato-soup/), which is also a family favorite! Capturing the essence of a comfort food in soup form is brilliant! qhgirl September 22, 2011 215 Hmmm.. this might be a good way to enjoy my canned tomato/zucchini puree-sauce (canned as in I canned it..lol.. not tinned). It is wonderfully chunky full of tomatos and squash with bits of fresh thyme all from my garden. It is so beautiful in the jars.. I almost hate to use it.. but if I pair it with a homeade bread toasted with a gooey cheese I am sure it will be worth it! eliza September 22, 2011 216 We just pulled all of our tomatoes/plants from our garden plot; 95% were green. Do you think roasted green tomatoes could make for good soup or am I just living in a fantasy world? Catherine Tiffany September 22, 2011 217 This soup was great! Thank You! Samantha @ Ferraro Kitchen September 22, 2011 218 I am obsessed with tomatoes! tomato soup especiallythis is rustic and mouth watering! Madeline September 22, 2011 219 Can I just say that I am so excited to see what cold-weather fare you come up with this year! This soup looks like a wonderful way to start the season. thegrumpess September 22, 2011 220 I just discovered roasted tomatoes. This looks delicious!

Heather Cross September 22, 2011 221 Wow! I will never buy any other tomoato soup nor will I make any other recipe for it. I didnt use the bread this time. This is the best! Thank you for sharing your recipe!! Bernadette @ Pack Accordingly September 22, 2011 222 this look divine! and perfect for chilly weather. thanks! Robert September 22, 2011 223 Delicious! I made it with an actual grill cheese sandwich with a little caramelized shallot and some more fresh thyme that I sliced into strips and served alongside it as a starter. Adding a bay leaf for the last 10 minutes of simmering really gives the flavours a boost. Any longer than that and it just takes over the dish though Denise @ TLT - The Little Things September 22, 2011 224 Wow, what a gorgeous presentation! Wanted to let you know: I read an old O-magazine on my Ipad and heard your interview. I loved it! Andrew Cooke September 22, 2011 225 Oh wow! This looks fantastic. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Ill definitely be making this over the weekend. Kelly Culler September 22, 2011 226 Thanks for the postwe love soup we are soup people!!! I have teens so we need something that will stay in a crockpot and still taste good whenever someone gets home to eat it. I used your recipe as a jumping off point. Sunday I made a bunch of sauce from two huge boxes of tomateos someone gave me. So I went down grabbed a bag and dumped the chicken stock into it. Its simmering now. Thats for saving me. Im currently teaching and in graduate school. Its homemade, but it almost felt like cheating, :). Andrew P. September 22, 2011 227 Great post, looks delicious! I have a question though Ive heard that blending tomatoes with seeds in a food processor can create a bitter taste. Did you experience that at all with this soup? deb September 22, 2011 228

Angela@mytastyliving September 22, 2011 229 Wow, I love tomato soup and this looks amazing! marybeth September 22, 2011 230 There is nothing I could add that has not been said this looks amazing. Every once an a while I see a receipe for something that just blows my mind and this is one of them! WOW. I just roasted some tomatoes last week for the first time and was completely blind sighted as to how good they would be. This is WHATS FOR DINNER :) Anna N September 22, 2011 231 This looks so amazing, and is perhaps the only reason Im finding it convenient that another rainy spell is coming up for NYC :-). Deb, if youre feeling not quite dazzled enough by soups and looking for more exciting ones, might I recommend the Green Lentil Soup with Curried Brown Butter from Super Natural Every Day? Curried. Brown. Butter. My fiances family and I all devoured it. Mandy Jane September 22, 2011 232 I made this last night from our own tomatoes. It was AMAZING!! Thank you, my husband also thanks you. lesliepie September 22, 2011 233 I cannot WAIT to make this. Yeeha! Tracey September 22, 2011 234 Holy mother of god. Sarah C. September 22, 2011 235 Gooooood stuff. Made it the day before because soups are always better the next day. Used a generous 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper, and it was SPICY! Added a spot of cream to the finish product to temper the heat. Served with trad grilled cheese sandwiches (instead of the topping you suggested) to make a dinner of it. Good. So very good. Sooooooo veeeeeeerrrrrrry goooooood. lizzy September 22, 2011 236 Im going to try this with a couple cans of san marzano tomatoes. My tomato garden, sadly, is done and I cant wait until next summer to try this!

Scoop September 22, 2011 237 I have my soup simmering on the stove at this very minute and the kitchen smells AH-mazing! I added a bay leaf for a little added flavor. Im not sure what itll do to the dish, but I cant wait to find out! My boyfriend and I are going to have it tomorrow night, and I assure you its all Im going to be thinking about all day tomorrow! Great recipe! Jessica @ bake me away! September 23, 2011 238 I had grilled cheese for dinner and was craving tomato soup to go with it. Never did I think I could have been craving it to go under it. Mind = blown! Sydney Foodie September 23, 2011 239 Ill be saving this recipe for those cold winter days, roasted tomatoes are always such a treat :) cookie September 23, 2011 240 Happy Belated Birthday! My humble apologies for missing the pre Happy Birthday greeting, as I was ill, and couldnt do anything at all. Perhaps this soup would have helped me to be well much quicker, other than chicken soup. I am looking forward to preparing this wonderful soup. Many blessins! sarah September 23, 2011 241 Bravo enough said. Jill Budzynski September 23, 2011 242 The oven roasted romas are soooo good. Did you know that you can slow-roast them with diced garlic and shallots, and then rough-chop and can that goodness with a covering of olive oil, so that you have the worlds perfect pizza sauce ready anytime?

Renee @ eatliveshop.com September 23, 2011 243 Ive been on the hunt for some yummy soup recipes and this one seems just perfect. Im looking forward to testing it out! molly September 23, 2011 244 for reasons i cant fathom, none of the photos will load, but no matter: i can taste this dish, sight unseen. and whats weirder yet? i was dreaming of EXACTLY THIS SAME mash-up, just last

Angela September 23, 2011 246 Addded heavy whipping cream to make it a little creamier.delicious! Tori (@eat-tori) September 23, 2011 247 This is a recipe that is screaming and pleading to be taken to the snow. I think I might give in as soon as winter comes around. Gorgeous- just gorgeous. Rocky Mountain Woman September 23, 2011 248 This looks sostinkinggood! gorgeous!!!!! Cari September 23, 2011 249 I made this last night, and am currently prepping a batch for myself for lunch. YUM. Thanks so much, Deb this is fantastic. You described it perfectly: Grilled cheese and tomato soup all in one bowl! Piper @ GotItCookIt September 23, 2011 250 You are so brilliant. tomato soup cooked like a classic french onion soup, but with cheddar cheese??? Perfect! Im going to make lots of people happy with this! JoyBites September 23, 2011 251 I have been staring at these pictures everyday since you posted. I cant wait to make ti and ti makes me want to dive in and eat. Liz @ Southern Charm September 23, 2011 252 Oh yea this is what Im talking about. Looks amazing!!

of tomatoes and block of cheddar in my fridge!! Hmmmday old chicken white bean stew for dinner or roasted tomato, broiled cheddar soup?? :) ayesha September 23, 2011 254 oh my god. i love you. Katherine Martinelli September 23, 2011 255 Oh yes please! This looks so warm and comforting and delicious. Erin September 23, 2011 256 Made this today to keep us warm on a rainy night. We are chowing down and could not be happier with the way it turned out. Thanks for another great recipe that will definitely become a staple! Frankie September 23, 2011 257 How cute, in the big coffee mugs! If fall ever actually makes it to Texas, Im gonna try that. :) Liz September 23, 2011 258 Oh my yes! This looks like tomato soup at its finest! Colleen September 23, 2011 259 On this rainy, first day of autumn, we made this delicious sop and it was a big hit! We added 1/2 tsp. crushed red peppers my husband likes it a bit spicy! The recipe is a keeper! Mariella September 24, 2011 260 I am a big fan of yours and have made many of your recipes. Even my kids now know Smitten Kitchen! Your photographs are always fantastic but this was the first time ever that I found a photograph of yours unappetizing. Scoop September 24, 2011 261 We had this for dinner last night and it was truly delish. We let the cheddar sink in a bit and get all gooey in the middle. Next time in the winter when I need something a little heartier I want to try this again but add some cream to thicken it up (and less red pepper flakes, I went tad over board.. oopsies) Lea September 24, 2011 262

so, if i dont have a food processor, and do have in immersion blender, its be about the same to blend at the end, no? Lea September 24, 2011 263 sorry thats itd ..:) Doroula September 24, 2011 264 Yes, thats something I gotta make! wendy September 24, 2011 265 thank you! going to go order one asap! cant wait to get to the farmers market for some maters to make this spoup! Rissie September 24, 2011 266 Another winner! I made this last night and it was wonderful. Thanks! Claire September 24, 2011 267 oh wow, i think i need to make this tonight. i have been craving tomato soup and i think making it from scratch with my own tomatoes is just the ticket. its the perfect way to ring in fall! Kate September 24, 2011 268 Mmm, I never thought to make my own tomato soup, but I am in love with this, and it would probably taste incredible with an aged Australian cheddar. Marie September 24, 2011 269 My all time favorite food site Again a wonderful dish!! The Leftoverist September 24, 2011 270 Ooh. Nice action shot, pouring the soup into the mugs. I am really salivating over this. Nice one. Jennie September 24, 2011 271 Made this tonight after non-stop drooling thinking about it since it was posted. SOOOOO DELICIOUS!!!! I just wish that it had made more so I can eat it all week. Id double the recipe next time! Such a genius idea! Seema September 25, 2011

272 This recipe is wonderful I prepared the soup yesterday lunch time and then finished it off (the cheddar and bread lid) just when I was ready for a lazy, comforting saturday night supper. Superduper recipe, probably one of my favourites yet. Thank you so much for sharing, really helpful and inspiring once again for vegetarians like me! x Callie {rawxy} September 25, 2011 273 As I sit here on this rainy sunday trying to figure out what to make for dinner tonight this is ohso tempting! Plus, I have a countertop full of garden tomatoes that are just begging to be used perfect. Jewels September 25, 2011 274 Genius! I love the French onion soup approach to roasted tomato soup. I like to sprinkle my tomatoes with Parmesan when roasting them for even more cheesy flavor, and cant wait to try it with you lid on to boot. Taylor Kibby September 25, 2011 275 Wow! I cant even explain the amount of salivating that just went on over my computer screen. Im a culinary student and have been trying to use up all this bread I bring home and this beyond perfect; especially on those crispy fall nights! Plus, I might just be a real sucker for anything related to grilled cheese! Love your blog so so much! Deena@StayatHomeFOODIE September 25, 2011 276 This is a great idea for all of the tomatoes that Im getting from my CSA. I may even get my kids to eat the soup if I sell them on the Grilled Cheese topping. Brilliant! cristal September 25, 2011 277 Every summer I roast my garden tomatoes with lots of garlic and herbs and freeze them in mealsized packages. They add that home-grown taste to lots of different meals, all year long. Tomato soup is a favorite were soup people. Grilled cheese toppers: inspired. Cant wait to try it. Molly September 25, 2011 278 Wow. This one is going on the list for a couple of months from now when tomatoes are back in season in New Zealand! Thanks! Sarah M. in Oregon September 25, 2011 279

Made this! Perfect for our first rainy cool evening/night of the season. We really enjoyed this, the soup consistency was thinner than I was expecting/wanting, but still so tasty! The look on my boyfriends face when this came out of the oven was priceless I cook a lot for us, but he thought he were expecting company because it just looked well, you saw the picture :) Amazing! Thanks Deb. Sarah M. in Oregon September 25, 2011 280 *we were* (sorry!) kyleen September 25, 2011 281 These looks delicious; Im a sucker for grilled cheese sandwiches. I love how you served this in mugsgreat presentation. Jamie @ snacktress September 25, 2011 282 This sounds like EXACTLY what Ive been craving the past couple of gloomy days. Ill be making it soon. Thank you! Subramani V September 26, 2011 283 It never fails to impress. Not because of only its taste but ingredients it have, the way of making. as it looks like an indian food,if you have time to travel across India, you can find this kind of soup stalls. Had the same one at Grace.Enjoyed. Nic September 26, 2011 284 Its was a cool and rainy Sunday in Sydney yesterday and after deciding I would NOT be leaving the house come hell or high water, I decided to make your Rustic White Loaf bread recipe and this soup to keep for a week night dinner. We just had it tonight (how could we possibly wait any long?!) with the bread as the cheese croutons and it was delicious! Ive never made fresh tomato soup before because Ive always been too scared of it being an acidic assault on my tongue and my stomach, but this soup is amazingly smooth with just the right amount of tomato-y tang. Nice one, Deb. Youve not led me wrong yet! Janet T September 26, 2011 285 Made this yesterday and it was AWESOME! Thanks Aesc September 26, 2011 286 A super cold bug is waging its attack right now and this is going to help fight it off. It doesnt get more authentically comfort food than tomatoes, cheese and bread in one.

judy September 26, 2011 287 made this yesterday, sooo good. it looked like each step along the way which was part of the so good! very pretty and extra yummy! Megan September 26, 2011 288 This looks absolutely amazing. Cant wait to try! Michael - UWS September 26, 2011 289 Made this over the weekend as a post long training run food (did the work saturday, the reheating and eating on Sunday). Excellent and added one twist to my carb starved body, some cooked elbow macaroni in the soup and under the cheese so it was grilled cheese, mac n cheese, tomato soup. I have never commented here but have been a fan for quite some time. Marcin September 26, 2011 290 I love the cheese toping for the soup. I have never tried to add cheese into tomato soup but I am going to try that. Nice idea and great pictures. Chuck September 26, 2011 291 We just made your version of this one after our own unsuccessful attempt last week. And, um, WOW! Quite possibly the finest tomato soup recipe Ive ever had. Thank you for posting! Alfia September 26, 2011 292 What a wonderful idea Im always looking for the perfect tomato soup recipe that is decidedly un-sauce-like. Roasting solved the problem i used beefsteaks from the farmers market, skipped the oil completely, roasted at 450 for 1 hour, doubled the garlic, and pureed in a blender until super smooth, skipped the stock, added a cup of hot water and 1 cup of whole milk. So yummy. Heather September 26, 2011 293 Brilliant construction project! I wonder what else we should have been melting cheese over, all this time. I made soup this weekend myself (http://bit.ly/ppHoed) Jill B September 26, 2011 294 oh.my. gosh. You just revolutionized my world. This sounds so awesome I cant wait, CANT WAIT to try it!

295 I have barely cooked since we adopted our baby 10 months ago. Read this and went to Whole Foods within an hour:) My soup turned out very thin but was still tasty. As for the grilled cheese tops brilliant! Aubrey September 26, 2011 296 This has to be one of the best looking things I have ever seen! Grilled cheese and tomato soup is the perfect fall meal, and man have you nailed it! Going to try it out this weekend! cara @ CGC September 26, 2011 297 This looks sooo good, and I totally support your statement that this has everything to do with the school year, as I have such fond memories of tomato soup and grilled cheese from my COLLEGE days. I wish I could say grade school, and pre-school even better, but alas I didnt start paying attention to this treat until I was old and wise. Your 2 year old is a lucky one! :D what katie's baking September 26, 2011 298 mm i love that you made them in cups Michelle September 26, 2011 299 I made this tonight after a long rainy day. . .it completely hits the spot!!! It is delicious and warms you from the inside. I sauteed some onion and added it to the food processor along with the tomatoes and garlic. I also added a roux to thicken it a bit right before serving. This recipe is easy and great for a week night dinner! I have made several Smitten Kitchen recipes and, once again, I am not disappointed!!! spelyea September 26, 2011 300 thoroughly enjoyed this instant classic. definitely want to also try the beer idea next time in place of a bit of the stock [maybe bell's best brown ale?]. had some caramelized onions lying around [because really, what don't they make better?] so put a few on top of the toasted rosemary bread that i used and under the cheddar. really liked the combination. im always inspired by smitten kitchen! thanks for another delicious meal! Jada September 26, 2011 301 Wow!!! This looks so amazing. I love any type of roasted tomato and this just sounds heavenly. I will definitely be trying this soon. mrs r September 26, 2011 302 This was SO good! The tomato soup is simple but has a nice depth. I didnt do the cheese lids

not enough time. We had grilled cheese instead and the pairing was delicious. Even my 14month-old tyrant approved! Im with other posters a bit of beer might be a great addition, though it really needs no improvement. Thanks Deb! Amie September 26, 2011 303 Thank you! This was AMAZING. A new fall staple in my house and already planned for next Sundays football game watching. Perfect way to feed a crowd, use lots of local tomatoes (I used 2 dif. kinds) and provide a use for all of the free coffee mugs that collect in the back of my cupboard. :) Amie September 26, 2011 304 P.S. I used giant ripe homegrown beefsteak quartered, mixed with firm romas, roasted the onion with the tomatoes (dont like even close to raw) and forgot to toast the bread still a huge hit. Desi September 26, 2011 305 Made it! AMAZING! Thanks! Mariana September 26, 2011 306 I was just thinking of a roasted tomato soup before coming to your blog and finding this! What a nice surprise. On another note, why was there a shoe bomb in your closet??? sounds terrible! Liz September 26, 2011 307 You are a GENIUS! Im trying it this week isabel @ pretty tasty things September 27, 2011 308 i mean seriously, this looks absolutely delicious. im not a fan of tomato soup, but i would SO eat this. thanks for sharing! Hallie September 27, 2011 309 This may be a perfect recipe to try out my new Cuisinart. Caitlin September 27, 2011 310 Ive made this twice since you posted it. Even toasted, the bread got soggy for me and sucked up a bunch of the soup before I could get to it. The second time I made it, I left out the bread and sprinkled the shredded cheddar over the soup before I served it. It got rave reviews! My new favorite soup recipe. Thanks!

Jennifer A September 27, 2011 311 I made this for a friend with a cold and it is DIVINE! Nadette September 27, 2011 312 I too am not a soup person. Or so I claim until french onion soup (read: anything with cheese lid) crosses my path. How would you feel about adopting 27 year old daughter and feeding me hearty soupy goodness? yes? excellent! Lucia September 27, 2011 313 Soups gift us with warmth when sun disappears. Stacy September 27, 2011 314 This looks ridiculously good. Why didnt I think of that???!!! Brilliant! Thanks for the inspiration. Elaine Shannon September 27, 2011 315 I made this Sunday and let me say it was fantabulous or rather that is what my fifteen year old son said. I did add a parmesan rind to the soup. I keep them in the freezer and usually add to vegetable soup when I make it, but it seemed like a good idea to try it here too. Left it in for the twenty minutes and then removed. Yummy. I do believe that next time I will peel the tomatoes though. Not every bit , but just the big pieces. It was still delicious.. Mimi Pond September 27, 2011 316 HUGE HIT! My husband called it liquid pizza. I like to think of it as more refined than that. We dug the cheddar lids but I toasted a few more pieces of bread and topped them with butter and cheese and baked them along with the soup with lids because I knew my family would DEMAND more than just their lids, and I was right! FABULOUS! Who could call those pics unappetizing? Thats crazy talk! Pam September 27, 2011 317 This recipe looks unbeatable. I love tomato soup, and the cheese is icing on the cake. thanks for sharing. I cannot think of a better lunch on a cold winter day. Perhaps a loaf of french bread might adorn? Alyssa September 27, 2011 318 I successfully made this soup without a food processor, just used my stick blender instead. It was probably less chunky, but that is okay by me. I also had no bread in the house, so settled for making the cheddar biscuits (the ones from the chili recipe, minus the jalapenos), and they were quite delicious with this soup

. Lauren September 27, 2011 319 Yum! My boyfriend worships french onion soup, and I think if I make tomato soup with the cheese on top, hell be sold on this as well. Ill save it for a chilly night at home :) Little Lady Eats September 27, 2011 320 This sounds delicious Im always looking for new soup recipes as they make such brilliant lunches. Reading your post has made me hungry, even though Ive just had a huge plate of mushroom risotto! Kim September 27, 2011 321 Made this last week, Amazing! Colleen September 27, 2011 322 Did you know you were linked on a Yahoo Finance/US News & World Report article today? http://finance.yahoo.com/news/How-to-Eat-for-7-or-Less-a-usnews-4077705804.html?x=0 Congratulations on having such a wonderful site and thank you for providing such yummy recipes and photos of your gorgeous little boy. My little girl just turned 2 as well its fun to compare notes. :) sharon (umommy) September 27, 2011 323 Genius! And from all your readers comments, I must. make. this. now. Lisa September 27, 2011 324 I read about your blog recently, everyday food perhaps? Just picked a LARGE box of green tomatoes for fear of freeze! This looks soo good coming from a couple who is not really into tomatoes. Could I can this, pre-crouton top? Am a novice canner! Sophie September 27, 2011 325 i will be making this on friday with my friends! How is the texture in this soup? it looks pretty thing and chunky in the picture true or false? Lauren @ LaDolcePita September 27, 2011 326 Omggzz. This looks ridiculous cant wait to try out. Love your blog, Im a longtime follower but dont think Ive ever commented :)

Leah September 27, 2011 327 Upon seeing this amazing recipe, I was faced with quite a dilemma. I live in Phoenix, and today it was nearly 100 degrees outside not exactly soup weather. But I love tomato soup and grilled cheese more than I should probably admit. Despite the sweltering outdoor temperatures, I heated up my oven for almost two hours and it was SO worth it. Best tomato soup of my life. Seriously. So glad I didnt wait for the rare 60 degree day in December for this soup. jessa September 27, 2011 328 This looks stinkin delicious. lcq September 28, 2011 329 four thumbs up from me & my man. As delicious as it looks thanks for another great recipe! Amber September 28, 2011 330 I made this for dinner last night and it was delicious! Josh September 28, 2011 331 This looks absolutely delicious. I am thinking about bringing this to a potluck maybe with some smoked paprika and goat cheese! deb September 28, 2011 332 Sophie Its as chunky or smooth as you want it to be as it will be determined by how much or little you puree the roasted tomatoes. Maya September 28, 2011 333 Yum! Cant wait to make this when it cools down. What a great idea for any soup- like I say, always err on the side of cheese. dana September 28, 2011 334 you just made my wanting to invest in a good food processor to I will be getting a processorThank you! Ilove love love tomato soup!!! and this looks divine! philip hendonphilip hendon September 28, 2011 335 As somebody who was turned off tomato soup as a boy by the famous canned variety which shall remain nameless, I can only guess how tasty this is and how remote the comparison would be. Great recipe!

Meg September 28, 2011 336 Great job yet again!I made this last night and it was tremendous. Today, I cant stop running through all the different possibilities of what I can top with a cheese and onion crouton. AND-when the puree and spices are diluted with a smidgen of milk it makes a tasty red sauce for pasta. SoupAddict Karen September 28, 2011 337 Just a follow-up: I made this the same day it was posted last week (happened to be making tomato soup anyway, so I just switched to this recipe). Really lovely amazing comfort food. Frdrique September 28, 2011 338 A real success ! Thanks a lot ! Sally September 28, 2011 339 Do you think it would taste as good if you used veggie broth instead of chicken broth? Would any adjustments be needed? I am having some vegetarian friends over for dinner and this looks perfect! Kika September 28, 2011 340 great site. its my goto site for new wonderful intriguing off the beaten path recipes. but alas, no pumpkin recipes. how about something? morgan September 28, 2011 341 For anyone in a hot climate who loves soup but cant fathom turning on the oven for a full hour, I made this with Nigellas roasted cherry tomatoes, which require me to not be home at all when the roasting is taking place, and it turned out BEAUTIFULLY. deb September 28, 2011 342 Hi Kika Pumpkin and winter squash recipes right here: http://smittenkitchen.com/recipes/#WinterSquash You should try the black bean pumpkin soup! deb September 28, 2011 343 Sally The recipe calls for either chicken or vegetable stock.

This looks absolutely delicious! I was directed to your blog by a friend, and I can see why. I am a chef, and have never even considered making this, and it is sooo down my alley!! Delicious! Martin Amanda September 29, 2011 345 These look amazing, and perfect. Ill tell myself Im making them for the children, but they know who the grilled-cheese-with-tomato-soup addict really is! That head of yours is a fascinating place. Bre September 29, 2011 346 I made this last night for book club with my girls! WE ALL LOVED IT! And so easy to make! I roasted the tomatoes the night before and pureed them so all I had to do was heat and add the stock before they came! I used a chibatta loaf as the bread toppers and it had the best chewy texture with all that melty cheese! I will make this again and again! Thanks for the great recipes and the constant inspirations! Love. Them! Sarah September 29, 2011 347 Wonderful recipe! A couple of alternatives to consider (just in case you want to try something a little different) We tried it with a whole head of roasted garlic, and it was great. Also, gruyere is a terrific option for a change from cheddar. Im trying to figure out how many recipes of this I can fit into my freezer this weekend. Thanks. Anna September 29, 2011 348 Trying this now. I only have 2 lbs of really-old-starting-to-rot tomatoes and no chicken stock so it will not be the same. I am roasting the tomatoes and garlic now and the kitchen smells phenomenal. Alexandra September 29, 2011 349 I am so hungry!! This looks insanely amazing!! xoxo Alexandra Karol September 29, 2011 350 Just finished devouring this. It was incredible. My husband ate two bowls, moaning this is amazing, this is phenomenal between slurps, and he doesnt usually like tomato soup. Thank you.

Julia @ DimpleArts September 29, 2011 351 OMG! Absolutely gorgeous soup! marybeth September 29, 2011 352 This is absolutely the best thing I have ever made from your blog! I am slurping a bowl in my office for lunch . . . . .I toted it here wrapped tightly in plastic and reheated. It just makes me happy. I have decided to roast and freeze all the tomatoes from my garden rather than can them I can buy canned ones . . . . . Frozen Sandwiches September 29, 2011 353 I have just made it yesterday to impress a date It just rocks!! Babyboxermom September 29, 2011 354 I made this for dinner tonight and Im still dreaming about it! I cant decide if I love it because it has a giant cheese-covered crouton, its reminiscent of pizza, or its grilled cheese with tomato soup all rolled up into one yummy bowl of goodness. Thanks for the recipe! Caroline September 29, 2011 355 Not sure how I feel about this recipe why does homemade tomato soup always taste like Im eating a bowl of tomato sauce without the pasta? Im also not getting much of a roasted flavor from the tomatoes, even though I baked them longer than you suggested. The soup was too watery (maybe because I used water instead of broth) so I added a can of tomato paste and simmered it longer. Nikki September 30, 2011 356 Made this last night and my husband deemed it Pizza soup. Were from Chicago, so are used to a heartier pizza. Absolutley delicious. Samantha September 30, 2011 357 As I scrolled down your posted the first words out of my mouth: Oh. My. God! This looks absolutely wonderful! Im def going to have to try this.

Im hungry just looking at this! Must try! Batya September 30, 2011 359 I made this last night. It was delicious. Then, since I had leftovers, decided to add a sunny-side up egg (running when you pierce it) on top of the cheddar lidto change it up a bit. It was fantastic. Sort of like shakshukah (without the peppers and with bread and cheese). Nice post. Shana Tova! Kierston September 30, 2011 360 Oh man!! Cant wait to try it! I love the presentation and the take on french onion soup :) Kathy September 30, 2011 361 I made this soup and it was absolutely delicious! I used regular field tomatoes since that is what my market had available. I found that the croutons soaked up a lot of the soup. Next time I would cut the croutons extremely thinas thin as possibleto avoid the soaking up issue. I also left out the onion, and it was great. Great flavour! Katy September 30, 2011 362 I normally am not a tomato soup person, but I had exactly 3 pounds of tomatoes from our CSA and your photos looked so great that I had to try it. And Im so glad that I did! It was absolutely delicious. I didnt have any nice artisan bread on hand, so I skipped the bread and cheese part, but added wild rice to the soup and an extra kick of crushed red pepper. We will definitely be making this again next summer when the tomatoes come in again :) Meg October 1, 2011 363 This soup looks delicious! Your blog is a regular conversation piece during my dietetic internship who has tried what, what someone is going to try, and on and on. thank you! Lyra October 1, 2011 364 Made this last night with cans of peeled whole tomatoes and it was fabulous. Thanks Deb, I dont think Ill be looking at tomato soup the same way ever again. Linda S October 1, 2011 365 Thank you for this recipe. I ended up making it pretty much exactly like your recipe except that I used basil instead thyme. Since we liked it, I decided to make it up to the point of adding the chicken broth and then canning the tomato mixture. I did roast some onion to add to the mixture to make it simpler when we need a fast dinner. We can just heat it up, add 4 cups of chicken broth and the cheese topper or we can use it as a base and add rice, cabbage, hamburger, green pepper, barley or any other favorite ingredients.

Steph October 1, 2011 366 hi deb you are a genius! I just made this for dinner tonight and it was amazing! I followed your recipe almost exactly but decided to add 4 jalapeos because we have 5 plants growing and peppers are coming out our ears! Cathy October 1, 2011 367 Im not usually a fan of tomato soup, but the photo made my mouth water. I am so glad I tried this! Im going to roast & freeze some tomatoes so I can have this soup during the cold winter months! Connie October 2, 2011 368 We loved this soup! I carmelized some shallots and stirred that in. It added a nice savory something K Blue October 2, 2011 369 I havent been able to stop thinking about this recipe since you posted it. I finally tried it last night and it was SO GOOD. I LOVE YOUR BLOG! I also had apple cheddar scones this morning thanks to you, and they were amazing. Thank you so much! Sherry October 2, 2011 370 Loved the recipe. We didnt have any leftover tomatoes (our tomato season quits about mid July in Texas) so I used store-bought roma tomatoes. The recipe was perfect. I will tell you I was a little concerned when I noticed how thin the soup was (I even added a full hour of simmering in the saucepan reduce the soup further), but that all changed when the fully assembled soup came out of the oven! The bread slices really soaked up a ton of the soup and in return, added so much body to the soup! And caution on the bread slices. I started to eyeball the one inch slices but I decided to do a quick measure before I made the first cut. Well, I was about a half an inch off in my estimates. This soup really does benefit from thick, chunky slices of bread. Thanks so much for your recipe its all that you hoped it would be IMHO. Nancy October 2, 2011 371 I made this soup this afternoon, while canning 25 lbs of tomato sauce I was totally lazy and just threw the cheddar cheese into the bottom of the bowl and poured the hot soup over and tossed in some croutons so very yummy!!! Nick October 2, 2011 372 We had so much fun making this recipe. Family is arrving for a visit, picking them up from the airport and home for this fabulous soup! Cibatta croutons and broiled cheddar cheese is the plan. Thank you for providing fabulous recipes and all the chatter that goes with each one!

Natalie October 2, 2011 373 This reminds me so much of French Onion Soup which I do love. Cant wait to try this out! Think I will pick up some tomatoes tomorrow and make this! crazypants October 3, 2011 374 I dont think I could possibly get this in my face fast enough. My CSA is having a bulk tomato order and I think Im going to roast a boatload of them. Joanne October 3, 2011 375 I am quite sure that the old bon appetite recipe will forgive you! With the weather suddenly changing from summery breezes to cool and grey skies, tomato soup is most certainly on my menu! I love the simplicity of roasting tomatoes, they become so sweet! Thanks so much! -Joanne Carrie October 3, 2011 376 Made this last week and it turned out amazingly well. Id never made tomato soup from scratch before but it was easy and oh so tasty! My boyfriend said it was hands down the best tomato soup he ever had! I didnt have any onions on handI know, who doesnt have onions?!but apart from that I followed the recipe to a t. This ones a keeper for surerecipe printed and in my recipe box! Thanks so much! Shreya October 3, 2011 377 Hey Deb I have a non-recipe related question; one of my favourite things to do in past used to be flicking through your amazing blog, previous entries upon previous entries. I have recently noticed that you no longer have that link at the bottom of your page ; am i missing some app that is required to see that link or is it gone for good? Thank you SS deb October 4, 2011 378 Hi Shreya I still see it, at the bottom of Index pages (Previous page and Next page) and at the top of individual entry pages (Previous post title Next post title) etc. Its actually one of my favorite features in blogs, and a bummer for me on ones that dont have it, so I hope to always have it.

madison October 4, 2011 379 i cant wait to try this recipe out! :) looks fabulous. thanks for sharing! -madison Maggie October 4, 2011 380 Oh my heavens! I will be making this soup immediately! With the bounty of fresh tomatoes available right now, this will surely be made this weekend! Kim October 4, 2011 381 I just tried the tomato soup and it was so delicious, my kids even liked it. I didnt have that many tomatoes so I added a can of crushed tomatoes and a little half and half and it was yummy. Thanks for the recipe. Kristin G October 5, 2011 382 I am a soup person and LOVED the idea of this the first time I read through this soup was fantastic, bread and cheese additions were brilliant. Next time I will add some additional roasted garlic, I was in love with the bits included in the soup. Thanks!! Lynne October 5, 2011 383 I made this soup this week and it was radeven without the cheese toasts on top :) I actually roasted off a tray of tomatoes and the garlic on Sunday, scraped it all into a Tupperware container and let it cool its heels in the fridge until I was pressed for a quick dinner on Tuesday night. At that point I just pureed the veg, whisked it with the fresh thyme, some salt and black pepper, 2 cups stock and 1.5 cups whole milk (I love creamy tomato soup and I figured since I was skipping the cheese it was reasonable :) and it was .amazing. Thank you so much for this easy recipe. I am never going the Campbells route again ;) Elle October 5, 2011 384 I just ate this soup for dinner, and it is possibly the best thing Ive ever eaten. I sliced up a couple of sourdough rolls that were in the freezer and used lemon thyme, because it was what was in the garden. Yum! Elle October 5, 2011 385 Also, I used the immersion blender instead of the food processor, for easier cleanup, and it worked really well. Theres a trick to cleaning an immersion blender, for anyone who doesnt know it; you just immerse the business end in the hot soapy dishwater and turn it on for a few seconds. Just make sure not to get the end with the button in the water.

caroline October 5, 2011 386 Yum. I dont quite know how I ever made it without you, Deb. Another winner. Thank you so much! judith October 6, 2011 387 Reading this recipe sort of makes me want to cry. Im living in Japan right now and I dont event think Ive seen a plum tomato. I guess I could try it with the little cherry type tomatoes they have here. Im not sure I could get the cheese lid exactly right either. My oven doesnt have a broiler function. How do I live in a developed country without a proper oven? I think Ill to give it a go anyway! Erin C. October 6, 2011 388 Wow, this looks breathtakingly delicious! Im going to head to the grocery store pronto to grab tomatoes while theyre still sinfully juicy. Thanks for the GREAT idea! Natalie October 6, 2011 389 Just made this and the smells in my kitchen are AMAZING.. cant wait for dinner! Thanks! Amanda October 6, 2011 390 Prepping this tonight to finish off tomorrow before a football game. Ive opened my windows to share the smell because I feel guilty keeping it all to myself. So excited. Julie October 7, 2011 391 You are a genius! I seriously cannot wait to try this grilled cheese tomato soup combo. They are both on my favorite list and combining the two sound utterly tasty! Maria October 7, 2011 392 There is something undeniably comforting about the American classic combination of grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. Your idea of combining the two into one dish is ingenious! Move over French Onion Soup! This time of year there is nothing like a hot bowl of homemade soup to warm you up. Ill be trying this dish out tonight! Do you have any recipes for butternut squash soup? Ive been on the hunt for a good one and as of right now my search has been somewhat disappointing. Looking forward to see what yummy fall recipes you post next! christine [the sugar apothecary] October 7, 2011 393 Ive been dreaming of this soup all week! Stocked up on the last decent tomatoes of the season, and Im ready to roast Im totally loving this season change :)

Janet October 8, 2011 394 I followed your recipe using the last of the farm tomatoes, only skinning them before mixing, as the skins are pretty tough this itme of year. The result is marvelous. Im going to freeze it, as it will be a joy to use on pasta in the dead of winter. Thank you! Colleen October 8, 2011 395 Im relatively new to your blog (and cooking blogs in general), but youve quickly become my go-to source for new recipes and inspiration. Last night I had a dinner party and served this as the first course (made with a mix of end-of-summer heirloom tomatoes). I didnt have any oven safe mugs, so I broiled the cheddar toasts and floated them on top, as you suggested it turned out beautifully. Second course was your spinach quiche with a salad of greens, fresh basil, pear, and apple. Dessert was your chocolate peanut butter cake, which everyone LOVED. Lisa October 9, 2011 396 Made this tonight for dinner mighty tastey!! jenn October 9, 2011 397 we have tomatoes roasting in the oven right now for this recipe & im already in the love the house smells all kinds of AMAZING!! :) thank you thank you! Amanda October 9, 2011 398 amazingso simple and cheap, why have I never thought of this?? JessieM October 10, 2011 399 after reading this blog for months, i finally made something and it was amazing! however, i burned pretty much every part of my mouth and hands in the process even after letting the soup cool for a very long time and blowing on it profusely (i even considered putting my mugs in the fridge but this seemed counterintuitive). any suggestions on how/ how long to let the mugs cool for? Food on the Table October 10, 2011 400 Yum! Love the twist on the tried-and-true combination! Cant wait to try it. Watch out chicken soup grilled cheese + tomato soup might be the new cold remedy. Rachel October 10, 2011 401 Eating this now and its unbelievably delicious! I added a little bit of cream to the soup since it was a little tangyand a dash of chipotle powder because I live on the stuff. But seriously, one of the best dinners ever. Thank you!

Mike October 11, 2011 402 I made this and it was great. I was floored when I first tasted how intense the tamato flavor was. Susan October 11, 2011 403 One question: I made this soup and I ended up with little tomato shard things that I believe are parts of the skin of the tomatos. Should I have peeled the tomatos before putting them in the food processor? They are difficult to chew and I dont see any of them in your pictures. I could have kept processing the tomato puree to help alleviate the issue but it would have lost its chunky goodness. Megan October 12, 2011 404 Deb: this did not suck. Seriously tasty. Plus: melty cheese melts my heart. stacey October 12, 2011 405 Tomato soup + grilled cheese is my ultimate comfort food, and combining them is a noble pursuit!! Im making this as soon as possible (weekend lunch). I did once serve a quick & dirty combo for a comfort themed pot-luck at work: grilled cheese using sourdough, cheddar+asiago mix and a spread made of mayo, sun-dried tomato paste and a pinch of sugar. avrupa sesli chat October 12, 2011 406 my sourdough, cheddar+asiago mix and a spread made of mayo, sun-dried tomato paste and a pinch of sugar. zipcarissa October 12, 2011 407 This looks so delicious! With the weather starting to get colder this is such a great comfort food recipe and I love that it is served in a mug. I am excited to try it sometime soon! joey October 12, 2011 408 Amazing and making it again while tomatoes still taste like tomatoes! Reposted the recipe on my blog for others to enjoy. Thank you for sharing. Justine October 12, 2011 409 Tried this last night. I used some kind of heirloom round tomato from my local farmers market. Probably the last of the year. It was wonderful, TYVM, for sharing your ideas! stacy October 12, 2011 410

This was insanely good. The fresh roasted tomoatoes and cheddar lid sent it over the top. People would pay good money in a restaurant for this dish. I will be making this as often as possible! I was too tired to add the onion, and it was still so delish. jenn October 12, 2011 411 i made a huge batch of this and then preserved 3 quarts for future use! following basic disinfecting canning rules, make the soup as instructed, fill jars and process for 35 minutes. deb October 13, 2011 412 Susan I forgot about this when I was writing the recipe, but late season tomatoes tend to have thicker skins and thats probably why yours are so annoying in the soup. You can absolutely scrape them out of their skins after roasting them next time you make them. (Personally, I always prefer my tomatoes peeled but didnt find the skins annoying in this recipe. But mine were thin and not noticeable.) Sue P October 13, 2011 413 I just got back from a trip to the great white north, aka, my parents house in ND. My dad has an ingeneous way of growing fabulous tomatoes in their uber-short growing season up there suffice it to say I got a big bag of tomatoes that are wonderful, but on their very last leg. Thyme is still in the pot outside. Stale sourdough is in the freezer. I have a trifecta of ingredients; soup will be made! Melissa October 13, 2011 414 I have a slightly off-topic question. Deb (and other people), what are your thoughts on homemade versus store bought stock? I usually just buy the low-sodium organic boxes at Whole Foods, and Ive always thought theyve tasted pretty good. My aunt and uncle make thier own stock. I recently had both soup and risotto from their homemade stuff, and it was amazing. Deb, do you make your own, or use the boxed stuff (or both)? If you make it, any recommendations on a recipe? I just reviewed several (Alice Waters, Judy Rodgers, Ina Garten, Alton Brown, plus some random others) and it was amazing the variation in ratio of chicken/vegetables/water between them, as well as whats called for in regards to the chicken (carcass versus necks and wings versus whole chicken). deb October 13, 2011 415 I use a mix of homemade and storebought, ideally homemade for places where the flavor will really show up chicken noodle soup or becomes very concentrated risotto, etc. and storebought for places where so many other flavors are going in, the delicacy of homemade wont show up. This soup, for me, would fall in the middle. My current favorite chicken stock is actually very, very plain. Its from Cooks Illustrated and its made in a slow-cooker using a few pounds of chicken wings (thats right, just wings; they insist that it had the clearest and least livery chicken flavor in their testing), a single onion, one or two cloves of garlic and water. Thats it. Its amazing and theyre right, the chicken flavor is buttery clear when uncluttered by sweet vegetables and herbs. However, I fall so totally in love with it when I make it that I have

trouble using it for anything. I become like Elaine from Seinfeld with her Todays Sponge where no recipe seems good enough to spend it on. gator October 13, 2011 416 I tried this recipe but replaced the cheddar with a dubliner cheese and it was sublime! Thanks for the share. The Teacher Cooks October 14, 2011 417 There is nothing better than tomato soup and grilled cheese. Thanks for the tip for chicken broth. I read about it in Cooks , but have never tried it. I will now after your OK. It would be great to share with my high schoolers ,also! Olga October 15, 2011 418 Deb! Ive been following your blog for a while, but today I feel extra brave and I wanted to tell you two things: 1) I watched Kings of Pastry (http://kingsofpastry.com/) last night and it was a really fun cooking movie to watch. I dont know if youve heard of it, but I thought you might enjoy it. 2) I saw you in my dream last night, but you were with your family and I didnt want to interrupt. But I really wanted to tell you about all the recipes that you had introduced me to (roasted tomato soup being one of them) and how tasty they turned out. Thank you! deb October 16, 2011 419 Hi Olga Aw, thank you. rf October 17, 2011 420 made this yesterday, perfect! added fresh cut chili, roasted shallot and a bit of adobo sauce from a tin of chiptolte peppers for a bit of a different kick.. came out lovely. Jaclyn October 17, 2011 421 I made this last night. It was outstanding. This is probably the best thing Ive made in a long time and certainly in a top spot of things Ive made from your blog (and Ive made a lot). Karen October 17, 2011 422 I was just thinking how you could do this for a smallish party with the mugs.. I wonder if you sliced the bread thinner if you could have them in cappuccino or espresso cups! That would be so cute! Whitney October 17, 2011

423 Absolutely amazing!! I cut down the recipe the first time in case I didnt love it. My only regret is that i DID cut down the recipe. I could eat my weight in this wonderful soup. Tv Food and Drink October 17, 2011 424 Nothing beats the classic overhead shot of a newly-filled food processor. One of my favorites! And this recipe looks like a lot of fun to create. Thanks! Gary Minda October 17, 2011 425 first of all, i am still laughing that in your above comment you compare chicken stock to a sponge.just further proves why, with so many cooking blogs, yours is the one that i obsessively follow. that and the fact that EVERYTHING i cook per your recipes is delicious! ive made this soup twice in the past week now and still dont have the heart to tell my mother, who will spend an entire day making her grandmothers recipe, that this one blows its doors off! thanks!! Yo October 18, 2011 426 That looks very yummy! Jennifer in KS October 19, 2011 427 MMMMMMM! This was so good! We got three meals out of the soup, and the flavor just intensified over two or three days or so. Thank you for sharing your great recipes! sarahskitchenblog October 20, 2011 428 Everytime I see these pictures Im just in awe I have to surprise my husband with this soup this weekend ! Avani October 20, 2011 429 Made this tonight using some farmers market tomatoes. It was delicious!! Instead of the topping I made a grilled cheese to go along with it. Already wishing I had made more!! Mesa para cuatro October 22, 2011 430 Wooow!!! I love this idea, and it is sooo simple! I think Ill do it for lunch tomorrow, I cant wait :) Congrats on the blog, its amazing. Greetings from Spain!! Caroline October 24, 2011 431

This looks fantastic. Im saving this recipe for a chilly night when I need a nice pick me up. I cant wait to try! TastyGalaxy.com October 24, 2011 432 Love the roasted tomato soup recipe its simple and looks so tasty. Bri @ Posh Purpose October 24, 2011 433 What a great recipe! I altered it a bit to fit our tastes (more red pepper and added basil). I am reposting your recipe and my alterations on my blog next Monday 10/31. My next recipe is your chocolate red wine cake! Thanks for always having such enjoyable and delicious recipes! Jane October 29, 2011 434 Im sure Im alone here, but 90% of the comments are in regard to how good the food looks vs. actually trying the recipe. I wish the comments were from actual recipe testers. Its hard to want to make these recipes otherwise. heavy hedonist October 29, 2011 435 Looks good! But why ruin a perfect vegetable soup by making it taste like chicken? A light homemade veg broth would be perfect here. Ill let you know what happens! Victoria October 30, 2011 436 Jane, I just made it tonight and it was great! I used Swansons new Flavor Boost packs (chicken of course). Four packets plus four cups of water = four cups of stock. I used roasted garlic ecce panis bread sliced about 1/2 inch thick or so. I served it for dinner with a tossed salad and my three kids scarfed down every single bite! I should mention that the kids are 1, 3 and 5. :) Casey Mahoney Brad P October 31, 2011 437 I love the recipe and will try to make it.Lets just hope I do not set the kitchen on fire.Casey Mahoney Brad P Sea November 3, 2011 438 Absolutely delicious and easy to make! I added chives and minced onions! Id recommend a little more broth added since the bread soaks up a lot of it. :) definitely on my to make again list! Tuesday Morning November 4, 2011 439 This looks absolutely delicious. I love the idea of melting the cheddar on top- Ive never seen that done before on a tomato soup. What kind of bowl would I able to use thats safe for the oven?

Jon @ vodkitchen November 7, 2011 440 Making this tonight just looks too good. Busy Skillet November 8, 2011 441 Oms! looks delicious, & love the presentation! I have to try this! Tad November 10, 2011 442 Anyone else have a problem with the olive oil getting extremely smoky in the oven??? What did I do wrong? Drizzled two tbsp over the tomatoes like the recipe calls for. Laura November 20, 2011 443 Loved this recipe! I made it last night and it was absolutely delicious.. perfect for a rainy night. Instead of cheddar I used smoked gouda because I already had it in the fridge. My boyfriend was speechless at how tasty everything was!! Cant wait to try your other recipes!! steph November 23, 2011 444 This recipe was good, but not mind-blowing like I expected given how much I love tomato soup and grilled cheese. The soup was a little on the bland side for me. I was expecting something super tomato-y and bold. I am willing to try again using your slow roasted tomatoes (which are amazing on margherita pizzas) instead of the above roasting method. Zahra November 30, 2011 445 This tomato soup has been called THE best by the pickiest of picky palates: my mother-in-law. Thank you for the victory. Stephanie December 4, 2011 446 Is there a way to strain the seeds? Or will the soup be too thick for that? deb December 5, 2011 447 If youd like it to not have tomato seeds, Id sweep them out before roasting the tomatoes to make it easiest. Jenna December 5, 2011 448 Such a simple recipe and so delicious! I have made lots of your recipes, but this may be my new favorite. I used lots of red pepper flakes for my taste!

gENE December 8, 2011 449 i am finally FINALLY delurking to tell you that Ive been reading (stalking?) your blog for about 3 years but this is the first time ive actually dared to make something from it. i have been looking at this recipe for like a week now! Being from Malaysia, its kinda hard to find really good fresh ingredients for western food, so mine didnt come out exactly as yours did (tomatoes lost all color in oven, cheese didnt coagulate into a joyful, oozing mess) but it was still SO GOOD. like your blog. so Thank You Deb! Joe December 22, 2011 450 I havent tried any recipe like this before. Would you say that Im missing something really good? Alright I got to make up for this by including more of this tomato and broiled cheddar soup in my meals :) Eliza January 1, 2012 451 I made this with our frozen roasted tomatoes. It did taste a bit like sauce, but sauce of the best kind, with a kiss of summer. I broiled the toasts separately with our pesto and then brie, then floated them in the soup. They were heavy though and sunk, but it was a shallow soup bowl so it worked fine. The picky 4 year old even ate some! Carlos January 15, 2012 452 I am a college student and have just created a blog for my online art class. I am a food lover from California and the assignment was to comment on any blog on our own site and I must say yours was the first blog that came to mind. I had to let you know that you are awesome and your recipes are amazing! This one particularity just made my chilly winter afternoon one to remember :) Graceful Cuisine January 16, 2012 453 Great idea to roast the tomatoes with flavoring before making the soup! I cant wait to try it in a toasted bread bowl! Im thinking it would make a great base for tomato pasta sauces too! Alex January 17, 2012 454 I made this last night, instead of putting a bread lid, I sliced the baguette, buttering it and put the cheddar on top- placing it back into the oven. I served it on the side and it was perfect dipping size. The soup came out awesome! It was hearty, thick and soooo great for a cold winter night. Thank you! Brenda Underwood January 29, 2012 455 Sounds delicious cant wait to try it!!!! kelly tanaka February 5, 2012 456

can I use grape tomatoes instead? TKW February 6, 2012 457 This is a fabulous recipe, thank you. I also was concerned about making something that tasted like spaghetti sauce. This doesnt! It was a hit at my Super Bowl get together, and I will be making it again soon. Deb F February 7, 2012 458 Finally tried this out last night with a baked brie & apricot bread it was a huge hit! Great recipe! Shoshana February 10, 2012 459 OMG Deb Fs creative touches sound deevine!!! I have the soup simmering on the stove now and from the licks I have taken it is delish. For the fresh herbs, I added ones from my CSA share this week: rosemary, marjoram, basil, oregeno. Very subtle notes and brings out the tomato flavor actually quite nicely. Using asagio cheese bread from whole foods for the croutons with raw milk organic white cheddar cheese MMMM. Deb, another hit! Liz Koch March 6, 2012 460 I hope you all can answer this question that has been nagging me forever. This recipe looks so PERFECT that I really do not want to screw it up. Can I use chicken broth in this recipe, instead of stock? What is the difference? deb March 6, 2012 461 You can absolutely use chicken broth instead. Stock tends to be more robust, but really, for a high-flavored soup like this, it will not matter. Katie March 7, 2012 462 Hi Deb, your soup was such a hit at our house this summer and a welcome recipe for putting up The Bounty That Was Tomatoes. I made the full recipe and froze a fair amount, which has since reheated beautifully. Once the freezer started filling up, I put the roasted tomatoes and garlic in a zippy and froze just that. Well, last night I thawed things out, added the broth and spices and it worked great. Thanks for our go-to soup recipe! Katie Rambant March 8, 2012 463 Thanks to our recent holiday in Scotland, where the food was superb, husband has only JUST opened up to the idea of soup as a delicious meal item, not just a horrid watery thing.

I cant wait to make this for him. However I dont know when the good tomato season is here in England- Im very new to cooking, especially seasonally. Any ideas? deb March 8, 2012 464 Rambant Its probably not very different from the East Coast, where peak tomato season runs from August through September.
