This was good fast and easy. I used two 14oz cans of tomato sauce and diced tomatoes because I did not have puree on hand and the texture was great.
I used the variation given by the last review 2 14oz cans tomato sauce and one can diced tomatoes instead of the puree. It Was EXCELLENT!!
This was absolutely delicious! It is very similar to the tomato basil soup you get at La Madeleine which I love. I used the 1 can of diced and 2 of sauce and when it was almost ready I used a hand blender to mash the diced tomatoes up a bit more. It turned out thick and hearty and the flavor was amazing!
Fantastic! Quick easy and delicious! I too used the sauce/diced variation and it came out fabulously!
I made the soup but not the sandwich. The soup is great. I cut down on the amount of cream cheese and left out the milk entirely. Very good.
A wonderful recipe! I made this for my co-op of 30 people and it went over just wonderfully. It is pretty spicy so if that's a concern I would suggest cutting the crushed red pepper a tiny bit but I really suggest putting it in there -- it makes a world of difference! I think the next time I will do a quick run through with an emulsion blender to break up a couple of the chunks of tomato but again not too much because it really gives it a robust feel. Thank you for the great recipe!
SO easy and SO good! I did not follow the recipe exactly as far as the canned tomatoes are concerned. Did not make a difference...
This recipe is delicious and super easy. I used canned diced fire roasted tomatoes instead of tomato puree because i like some tomato chunks instead of completely smooth. I also added some garlic and some chicken stock to taste. I used baguettes instead of rye with the Brie and I also made some with parmesan. I floated the crostini on top of the soup instead of pouring soup over it because I like a little crunch left in the bread as you eat it. Once I had everything assembled I blended part of the soup to smooth it out and I found the second time I made it that if you blend the cream cheese you won't end up with little bits of cream cheese floating in the soup. If you love tomato soup you will love this. I made it three days in a row!
The grilled brie sandwiches turned out very good and cooked great in the oven. Very enjoyable spin!
I'm not a fan of rye bread but I thought it was pretty good paired with the Brie. The soup however wasn't nice at all. I'd try this again but make my own tomato soup from scratch.
