Ingredients
- 5 tomatoes
- 1 bell pepper
- 1 onion
- 2 clove garlic
- 0.63 cup cream
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
- to taste paprika
- 1 tbsp butter
- 4 slice bread
- 1 4/5 oz grated cheese
Instructions
- 1Heat a large pot over medium heat and melt the butter until it foams.
- 2Add the sliced onion, minced garlic, and sliced bell pepper to the pot; sauté for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent and the vegetables are fragrant.
- 3Stir in the sliced tomatoes, season lightly with salt, and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften and release their juices.
- 4Pour in the cream, then add black pepper and paprika to taste; stir to combine.
- 5Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer gently for 10 minutes, uncovered, to meld the flavors.
- 6Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until completely smooth, or carefully transfer the mixture in batches to a countertop blender.
- 7Return the pureed soup to the pot, re‑heat briefly if needed, and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper as desired.
- 8While the soup is warming, toast the bread slices until golden brown, then cut them into bite‑size croutons.
- 9Place the toasted croutons on a baking sheet, sprinkle with grated cheese, and broil for 1–2 minutes until the cheese melts and lightly browns.
- 10Ladle the hot soup into bowls, top each serving with a handful of cheese‑topped croutons, and serve immediately.
- 11Optional: garnish with a drizzle of extra cream or a few fresh basil leaves for added color and aroma.
