This soup and bread combo is the comforting easy meal you need this winter. Using store-bought baguettes and elevating them with homemade garlic herb oil is my favorite way to spruce up something simple.
Episode for this recipe
In a large pot on medium heat, add in the tomatoes, onions, garlic, and butter.
Cover and cook until the tomatoes fully soften, about 30 minutes.
Blend well with an immersion blender.
Add in the tomato sauce, milk, salt and pepper to taste.
Cook again, covered, on a low flame for another 15 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Slice the baguette in half lengthwise. Place on a baking sheet cut-side up.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, basil, and salt.
Brush almost all of the garlic oil mixture over the cut sides of the baguette. Leave some leftover to brush on after baking.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
Bake uncovered for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and brush the remaining garlic oil mixture over the cheese. Cut into pieces and serve warm alongside the creamy tomato soup.
Notes:
You can use one and 1/2 to two large cans of peeled or crushed tomatoes instead of fresh.
For a smoother texture, strain the soup if you’d like, but as is it’ll be nice and thick and creamy with a bit of texture to it.

Shalom. I came across this recipe and as I love tomato soup, I decided to try it. However, before I do, I have a question: what type of shredded cheese did you use..The ingredients simply says "shredded cheese".
Hi Susan! You can use whatever blend of shredded cheese you like :)
