Chunky Tomato Soup w/Cheese Toast

Lunch

This chunky tomato soup with cheese toast is healthy but still comforting with flavors of tomato, onion, garlic and thyme.

About 10 minutes

About 50 minutes

1Place a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add oil. When hot, add onion and saute for 3 minutes. Add fennel and saute another 3 minutes, then garlic and saute another 5 minutes.

2Add vegetable broth, tomatoes and thyme, bring to a boil. Once it boils, reduce heat and partially cover. Simmer for 35 minutes, then remove from heat. Let cool 5 minutes.

3Preheat broiler. Arrange bread on a baking sheet, top each slice with 1 Tbsp. cheese. Broil about 2 minutes, until cheese is melted.
4Remove the thyme, then put 1/2 of the mixture into a blender. Blend until desired consistency, making sure to remove the center part of the lid beforehand (cover with a towel to avoid a mess!)

5Transfer to large bowl and repeat with other half of mixture. Add salt and pepper, serve.
