Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 cup heavy cream
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 loaf of crusty bread
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 tablespoons butter

How to Make Creamy Tomato Soup with Herb Bread

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Add the crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, dried basil, and oregano. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
4. Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth. If you don’t have one, transfer the soup in batches to a blender. Return to the pot.
5. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper. Heat through for about 5 minutes, ensuring it doesn’t boil.
6. While the soup simmers, prepare the herb-infused bread. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
7. In a small bowl, melt the butter and mix in the chopped parsley, rosemary, and thyme.
8. Slice the bread and brush both sides with the herb butter mixture. Place the slices on a baking sheet.
9. Bake the bread slices for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
10. Serve the creamy tomato soup hot, accompanied by the herb-infused bread slices for dipping.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use ripe, high-quality tomatoes for the best flavor.
• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes while sautéing the onions and garlic.
• Allow the soup to simmer longer for deeper flavors.
• Blend the soup in batches if using a traditional blender to avoid spills.

Easy Variations

• Swap heavy cream for coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
• Add a splash of balsamic vinegar for extra depth.
• Toss in some cooked pasta or rice for a heartier meal.
• Experiment with different herbs like dill or cilantro for a unique twist.

What to Serve With It

• Grilled cheese sandwiches for classic pairing.
• A fresh green salad for a lighter option.
• Roasted vegetables for added nutrition.
• Crispy croutons for extra texture.
