Ingredients
Nordstrom Tomato Soup
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 Onion roughly chopped
- 3 Carrots peeled and roughly chopped
- 3 Cloves Garlic mashed
- 2 28 Ounce Cans Whole Peeled Tomatoes
- 2 Tablespoons Dried Basil
- 1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
- 8 Cups Chicken Broth or vegetable broth
- 1 ¾ Cups Heavy Cream or coconut milk
Spicy Cheddar Crostini
- 1 Loaf Ciabatta Bread
- 1 Cup Spicy Cheddar Cheese
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
Instructions
- To make this soup, start by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Roughly chop the onion and carrots, and mash the garlic. Add them to the hot oil and cook, stirring often, for about 8 minutes.
- Next, add the whole peeled tomatoes, dried basil, salt, pepper, and broth. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for about 15 minutes.
- While the soup is cooking, make the crostini. Preheat the oven to 350F. Slice the ciabatta bread into ½-inch thick slices and arrange them on a large baking sheet. Brush each slice with olive oil, then sprinkle with the spicy cheddar cheese.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges of the bread are golden brown and crispy. Remove the oven and set aside until ready to serve with the soup.
- Remove the cover and blend the soup until completely smooth, either with an immersion blender or by carefully transferring to a regular blender. Once smooth, stir in the heavy cream (or coconut milk).
- Mix well, taste, and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
- Divide soup in bowls and serve with the cheddar crostini. Garnish with fresh basil and a drizzle of heavy cream if desired, and ENJOY!
