Servings: 6

Preparation duration: 30 minutes

Cooking duration: 60 minutes

 

Ingredients:

1 bay leaf

2 cups vegetable or chicken broth

Thinly sliced French bread

Fresh herbs for garnish

1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary

2 - 4 cloves of garlic

1 cup fat free half & half

about 1/4 cup of mixed fresh herbs: I used basil, thyme, oregano, and tarragon.

Red Robin Seasoning (or your favorite seasoned salt) and freshly ground pepper

A dash of nutmeg

1 small onion, cut in fourths, NOT peeled!

2 teaspoons smoked paprika

About 3.7 pounds of fresh garden tomatoes (or substitute canned fire-roasted tomatoes ... the amount of tomatoes doesn't have to be exact ...)

1 cup shredded white cheddar cheese

Shredded or sliced white cheddar cheese

Equipment:

baking sheet

oven

blender

pot

bowl

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat the oven to 375 F. Spray a baking sheet or two with cooking spray. (I needed two!) Cut the tomatoes in about 1/2 inch slices and place them on the baking sheet side by side (no overlapping!) Set the onion on the baking sheet as well.Sprinkle the tomatoes lightly with Red Robin Seasoning and bake for about 20 - 30 minutes or until the tomatoes look soft and cooked and the onion is soft and translucent and maybe even a little blackened on the top edges.Let the roasted vegies cool for a bit, then pull the very outer skin off the onion and put the tomatoes and onion with the garlic cloves in your blender and blend till smooth. It should have the thickness somewhere between tomato sauce and tomato paste at this point.Pour the tomato mixture into a soup pot and add the broth, bay leaf, rosemary and paprika, bring the pot to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes. Add the half and half and cheddar cheese and reduce the heat to medium low or low and heat till the soup is hot, but not boiling. If the cheese is not mixing in properly, you might need to blend the soup again to get it smooth.Add the herbs and season to taste with Red Robin Seasoning and freshly ground pepper.Pour the hot soup into oven-safe mugs or bowls. Top with thinly sliced toasted French bread, then add some white cheddar on top of the bread. Place a thin slice of tomato on top. Bake at 350 for about 5 - 10 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted and a little bubbly. Garnish with a sprig of fresh thyme or other herb, if you like. Serve immediately.Make grilled cheese sandwiches using thinly sliced bread. Cut the sandwiches into crouton-sized pieces and serve the hot soup with a few croutons in the soup.

Food Joke

Four surgeons were taking a coffee break and were discussing their work. The first said, "I think accountants are the easiest to operate on. You open them up and everything inside is numbered." The second said, "I think librarians are the easiest to operate on. You open them up and everything inside is in alphabetical order." The third said, "I like to operate on electricians. You open them up and everything inside is color-coded." The fourth one said, "I like to operate on lawyers. They're heartless spineless, gutless, and their heads and their ass are interchangeable."
