I decided to update the recipe card, and re-share this recipe since it's a family favorite. When I originally shared this Tomato Basil Soup with Cheesy Bread Georgia Pellegrini remade this recipe on Tasty Kitchen. It's still such a huge honor she made my recipe. I'm sure you'll love it as much as we do.

This soup comes out of a love for Tomato Basil Soup and Cheesy Bread. Sometimes I just need a quick healthy weeknight meal and this is it!

I love Tomato Basil Soup but my kids have a strong dislike for grilled cheese well 2 out of 3 kids. This happened thanks to my Dad. He had babysat the kids a few years back while we went out of town and his specialty is Grilled Cheese. When I say specialty I mean they went through a lot of cheese, like 2 2lb blocks of cheese with in 5 days.

Yes I meant a lot of cheese..

At least my kids were fed well even if they did have to consume a lot of high fiber food upon my arrival home.. I won't go into details I think you get the idea..

This however hasn't hindered their love of Cheesy Bread..

That is the story of how Tomato Basil Soup With Cheesy Bread was born.

Heat 1 tablespoon Olive Oil over medium-high heat and add:

• 1/2 whole Diced Onion

Sauté onion until softened and add:

• 3 cloves Minced Garlic

Add: 

• 1-2 pinches Red Pepper Flakes dependent on how spicy you like your tomato soup
• 1 teaspoon Rosemary

Add: 

• 84 ounces Diced Canned Tomatoes
• 2 cups Chicken Stock or Vegetable Stock
• 1 tablespoon Honey

Mix until thoroughly combined, bring to a simmer and reduce heat to low. Cook for 15-20 minutes.

Season soup to taste with: 

• Salt
• Ground Pepper

Remove from heat and cool 5-10 minutes, if using a blender to puree.

If you have an emulsion blender you can puree soup in the pot but if your like me you will need to use your stand blender. 

Only fill the blender 1/3 full of hot soup and work in small batches. Remove the plastic center pieces from your blender if you have a standard blender. Hold the lid down tight with a clean thick kitchen towel covering the hole and pulse soup to keep lid from exploding off of blender.

Repeat with remaining soup until all soup is pureed and return soup to pot over low heat, until warm.

Mix together:

• 1 cup Grated Mozzarella Cheese
• 1 cup Grated Cheddar Cheese

Slice 1 whole Baguette and top with cheese mixture.

Pop these bad babies into a 450 degree oven for about 5 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and golden.

I like to check my cheesy bread at about the 3 minute mark to make sure it's not burning.

Stir in 1/2 cup fresh chopped basil.

Serve soup topped with cheesy bread or on the side for dipping!
