What is better than tomato soup? Tomato soup with a home made croutons on top.
Ingredients
  • For soup:
  • 1 teaspoon butter or stick margarine
  • 5 cups chopped seeded tomato (approx. 2.74 lbs)
  • ¼ cup finely chopped onion
  • 3 tsp Natural Magic
  • 2 cups 1% low-fat milk
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Dash black pepper
  • For croutons:
  • 2 (1oz) slices of French bread (1 inch thick)
  • 1 garlic clove, cut in half
  • ½ cup (2 ounces) shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack or reduced-fat, reduced-sodium Swiss cheese.

Instructions
  1. For the soup: melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; saute 3 minutes. Add the tomato and cook, covered, over medium heat for 10 minutes. Uncover and cook until the mixture is reduced to 2 cups (approx. 25 min), stirring occasionally.
  2. Place your tomato mixture in a blender, and process until smooth. Combine tomato mixture, milk, Natural Magic, salt, and pepper in pan, and cook over medium-low heat for 2 minutes or until heated.
  3. Preheat broiler.
  4. For the croutons, rub cut sides of garlic over both sides of each bread slice; place bread on a baking sheet. Broil 30 seconds on each side or until toasted. Cut each slice in half crosswise. Place 1 cup soup in each of 4 ovenproof bowls; top each serving with 1 crouton and 2 tablespoons cheese. Broil 2 minutes or until cheese is melted.
