Quick Tomato Soup with Basil & Brie Sandwiches

30 Minutes
12 Servings
6 Ingredients

Description

For the ultimate comfort food with low effort, try this delicious recipe for quick tomato soup with basil and brie sandwiches.

Directions

For the soup:

1. In a medium size pot, heat the oil and fry the garlic over medium heat for about 1 minute.

2. Add the fine tomatoes, stock, sugar, salt and pepper. Stir and bring to a simmer, then cook for 10–15 minutes over low heat.

3. Add the cream and heat through without bringing to a complete boil again. Serve warm.
 

For the sandwiches:

1. Spread bread with butter (on the outside of the sandwich), and then arrange slices of Brie and basil on the inside.

2. Toast in a hot pan on both sides until golden and gooey. Serve with the soup.

Tips:

Canned whole Italian tomatoes are far superior to canned chopped tomatoes, so try not to substitute the two.

Without the stock and cream, this recipe can also double up as a versatile pizza base sauce and pasta sauce.
