Tomato Soup w/ Grilled 'Cheeze' Croutons


Alicia at Vegan Epicurean gave me this idea when she made a luscious-looking Tomato Fennel Soup the other day. She mentioned that she had thought about serving it with grilled cheese sandwiches, but then decided not to. I immediately imagined little grilled cheese croutons.

For the croutons, I made little grilled cheese open-face sandwiches with some of VE's Vegan Cheddar Cheese Brick Substitute , which I must say, were delicious. Thanks Alicia!!

For the soup, I sweated off 1 large carrot, 1 large celery stalk, 1 medium diced onion, and two minced cloves of garlic in olive oil, with some red chili flakes and some oregano. Then I added 28 oz can of tomatoes, 1 cup veggie broth and 1 cup water. Blended it until smooth, then salt and pepper to taste.

    Great idea, wish I had thought of it. My recipes look great at your house.

  3. Rose,

    I didn't think my earlier comment posted, the computer was acting up. Don't ask how, I have no idea since I am just not that good with computers. I was coming back to post a comment when I saw it took.

    My husband loved the cheeze crouton idea. He said to tell you thank you. Guess what I will be making soon?

    I have a ridiculously busy day today. The gym, checking on my parents, Asian food store, cooking class and the vet. Can you say frazzled? Gotta go work out before I get lazy and bail. Talk to you soon.

    have a great day,
    Alicia

  4. Great Pac-Mac photo! (Unfortunately, my hubby doesn't like tomato soup, so I will never make it).
