Ingredients
1 box Fiber Gourmet Original Cheddar Thinables
1 (15-ounce) can crushed tomatoes or tomato purée
1 cup vegetable or chicken broth

Quick Tips
Immersion Blender Magic
For a restaurant-quality, silky smooth texture, use an immersion blender right before adding the heavy cream.
Prevent Curdling
Make sure the soup is on low heat (not boiling) when you stir in the cream to keep the texture smooth.
Cracker Timing
Top with Cheddar Thinables immediately before serving to keep them as crunchy as possible!

How To Make Creamy Tomato Soup with Original Cheddar Thinables
Sauté Aromatics
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 1 additional minute until fragrant.
Combine and Simmer
Add the crushed tomatoes, broth, and dried herbs to the saucepan. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Make It Creamy
If using, stir in the heavy cream and heat through gently (do not boil). Season to taste with salt and pepper. For a completely smooth texture, blend the soup before adding the cream.
Serve and Enjoy
Ladle the hot soup into a bowl. Add a few fresh basil leaves or a drizzle of cream if desired. The most important step: finish it off with a generous handful of Fiber Gourmet Cheddar Thinables for the perfect crunch! Use them to garnish or dip directly into the soup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this soup dairy-free?
Yes! Swap the butter for olive oil and use full-fat coconut milk or an unsweetened plant-based cream alternative instead of heavy cream.
How long will leftover soup keep?
The soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, and add fresh Cheddar Thinables just before eating.
Can I freeze this tomato soup?
Yes, tomato soup freezes very well for up to 3 months. If you plan to freeze it, we recommend leaving out the heavy cream until you reheat and serve it.
