Ingredients
Scale
Soup Base
- 1 (14-ounce) can fire roasted diced tomatoes
- 2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
Creamy Cheese Mixture
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Combine Tomatoes and Broth: Add the fire roasted diced tomatoes and vegetable broth to a medium saucepan. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
- Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a separate small saucepan, gently heat the heavy cream over low to medium heat until just warm (do not boil). Remove from heat, add the shredded cheddar cheese, and stir until the cheese is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Combine and Blend Soup: Pour the warm cheddar cream mixture into the tomato and broth mixture. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup directly in the pot until smooth and creamy. If you do not have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender, hold the lid securely with a dish towel, and blend until smooth.
- Season and Serve: Season the blended soup with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir well and serve hot.
Notes
- When tempering the cream, be careful not to overheat or boil it to prevent curdling.
- If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend the soup for a shorter time or mash the tomatoes slightly before adding the cream mixture.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red chili flakes when seasoning.
- This soup pairs wonderfully with crusty bread or a grilled cheese sandwich.
