Fresh Tomato Soup with Crispy Cheese Toast - Food Wishes

When you grow up eating a certain thing a certain way, it can be challenging to enjoy that certain thing in a new, and significantly different way, which used to be the case for me when it came to any non-creamy tomato soup. Until I discovered this one, and all that changed.

Daring chef--making tomato soup while wearing white pants!

[rsybing]

1:14 "what we'll do is nothing" one of my favorite cooking techniques

I had never heard the expression "Italian MSG" referring to anchovies. Perfect!

"If you're one these culinary cowards"

I feel called out. But I trust you Chef John.

[LastEarBender]

let's face it - the tomato soup is just a condiment for the cheese toast lol

[sayntfuu]

For the record, where I live on the day this came out, it was 50 F and rainy. This was a great lunch today!

[WobblesandBean]

When you cut open that first yeah. That's the good stuff.

Chef John gotta be one of the bravest people alive, cooking tomato soup in white pants :D

[arthas]

perfect timing, My early harvest and late harvest tomatoes both got ripe at the same time because our growing season was screwed up so I've got a large pile of fresh tomatoes to deal with all at once.

If you don't stay until the 'and as always, EnJoy! 🎵🎵' are you even a chef John fan?

Chef John, I think your best point about this soup is also the most subtle: use a mix of varieties of tomato. The flavour and nuance are sublime and I could not agree more on using the anchovy. One might also employ a spent parmigiano reggiano rind as well. This will be lunch tomorrow along with an ennead of cheese toast with slivers of garlic.

Chef John, do you have a kitchen garden? I would love to see a tour of it!

[rebeccaramos]

But seriously, I LOVE LOVE tomato soup. I'm going to make this soup tomorrow

[jayminpatel]

Dear Chef John. I just want to say thank you. I've cooked and baked more in the last two months than I ever have in my whole 39 years of existence, dishes that I never ever thought possible living in a place with limited resources. You make everything look so fun and easy! A great big thank you from Livingstone Zambia 🇿🇲

This recipe is the gateway drug to a full on chef John addiction.

I made this soup yesterday! I forgot the anchovy (literally: I stared at the appropriate shelf in the grocery store, blinked, told myself I had plenty of tuna at home, and walked away), but added a bit of Worcestershire and basil (the herb garden runneth over), and it turned out beautifully! The whole recipe was inhaled by my family in 20 minutes; it would have been 10, but it was too hot!

My husband even brought home a small tin of anchovies today and asked for another batch!

I was waiting for the drizzle of heavy cream.😃

That toast is looking so good honestly 😭😭😭
