Soup of the Day: Tomato With Toasted Cheese Croutons

Here's one last mouthwatering soup to round out the first week of Soup Month. Because, after all, where would we be without tomato soup?

Tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches: a childhood ritual of winter afternoons after sledding or tromping through the snow. We can still taste the Velveeta cheese, and Campbell's signature tang.

This recipe takes that old classic and updates it with real tomatoes and cream, cooked with chicken stock, and sourdough croutons toasted with Parmesan cheese. If this is growing up, we're all ready now, thank you very much.

I made this with a few alterations and was really impressed with the soup itself. I think the cream isn't necessary in such copious quantities (and I omitted the celery as I'm not a fan of it and it's expensive in Tokyo).

I also skipped the fussy croutons, but I had it with a grilled sandwich anyway.
