Indulge in the comforting flavors of homemade cherry tomato soup with double brie grilled cheese. It is a delicious and satisfying meal for chilly days.

Say Hello To Homemade Tomato Soup

Homemade Cherry Tomato Soup with Double Brie Grilled Cheese doesn’t sound any better and tastes as good as the photo suggests.

Ooey, cheesy goodness wrapped around organic cherry tomato soup with fresh garlic, chives, green pepper, cabbage, and a secret ingredient.

A piping hot soup pot will always take the chill away as the weather turns from hot and sticky to brisk and cold.

There’s something about soup that makes people smile, especially when homemade.

Although we like using a crockpot, sometimes using a stove to make soup is faster.

Organic Garden Harvest

You may or may not know from recent blog posts that we’ve dealt with a family emergency that left us to tend to a large garden ready to be harvested.

It was shocking to see how many tomatoes were ready to eat and how many had fallen.

Not only tomatoes, but we harvested a bounty of fruits and vegetables.

• zucchini
• eggplant
• figs
• tomatoes
• yellow tomatoes
• yellow cherry tomatoes
• cherry tomatoes
• green beans
• Brussel sprouts
• green peppers
• cabbage
• long green peppers
• garlic
• pears
• apples
• plums
• grapes
• fennel
• Swiss chard

It sounds exhausting, and it was.

My in-laws like to garden as a hobby, and although only two of them are in the house, they grow enough for a neighborhood or two.

When you have terrific skills like my father-in-law, he takes pride in sharing his crop with family and friends.

He could sell his produce, but he’s not about money these days; it’s about living and sharing.

We didn’t want to waste another minute, so we started picking tomatoes, which took about two days.

Our little guy even joined in and was super excited to pick tomatoes and load them into his harvesting truck.

I firmly believe that we should teach our children about gardening from a young age so they understand sustainable living and where their food is coming from.

After picking as much as possible, we shared the harvest with a few of our friends and our hairdresser, who loves eggplant.

Mrs. CBB’s father was happy that people could eat the produce rather than let it all sink into the earth.

Although we didn’t catch everything in the time, it was undoubtedly fulfilling to carry on the tasks he takes to heart so dearly.

Fresh Tomato Soup Recipe

Now we’re home with a bazillion tomatoes and cherry tomatoes and have to find time to sort them out.

We could not eat them all in time, so I prepped and froze many tomatoes in freezer bags for future meals.

With over 200 cherry tomatoes on our counter, we realized we could eat only so many tomato salads before we had enough.

Mrs. CBB and I created a leisurely pot of homemade cherry tomato soup filled with beautiful herbs, luscious cream, and keto-friendly.

That means for all the low-carb eaters, this soup caters to you as well.

How To Prepare Tomato Soup

One of our pet peeves regarding homemade cherry tomato soup or any tomatoes we’ve used is that we cannot stand if it tastes like a pot of pasta sauce.

Eating a bowl of tomato sauce is not so tasty unless it’s filled with mince and I have a loaf of fresh garlic bread.

This pot of cherry tomato soup has a secret ingredient consisting of cloves that we added to a tea leaf dipper (we didn’t have cheesecloth) and allowed to simmer in the pot.

Once the soup was done, we removed the leaf dipper and emptied the cloves.

We added organic cabbage, green pepper, garlic, and chives to the pot, followed by a butter rue with whipping cream and coconut flour (or 10% cream is fine).

If you don’t have homemade chicken stock, use the chicken bouillon cubes as we did.

You’ll need about 8 cups of chicken broth and a large pot

How To Make Double-Brie Grilled Cheese

I used brie because it’s a mellow cheese that would not steal the main show.

To make the double brie grilled cheese, butter two sides of bread *your choice of bread).

Place one of the butter sides in the frying pan or grill on medium heat, add a few slices of cold brie, then add the remaining bread with butter.

Keep the butter side up.

Flip the sandwich when it gets brown and toasty on one side.

Only make this sandwich once the soup is done and plated to enjoy the full gooey brie effect.

The time-consuming part was slicing the cherry tomatoes; however, if you don’t have time, toss them inside whole.

It won’t make a difference once you remove the hand mixer and blend everything.

In less than an hour, we had a gorgeous red cherry tomato soup pot waiting to be eaten with lots of leftovers, which we are huge fans of when soup is on the menu.

A homemade pot of organic cherry tomato soup is perfect when the weather starts to get colder, and you have an abundance of tomatoes to use up.

A wonderful mix of herbs and spices served with a double brie grilled cheese for dipping.

Ingredients

• 8 cups sliced cherry tomatoes
• 2 cups shredded green cabbage
• 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2wo cloves of garlic minced
• 1 small green pepper chopped fine
• 8 cups of chicken broth
• 1/2 cup minced chives
• 2 teaspoons salt *add as needed
• 1 teaspoon pepper *add as needed
• 6 cloves wrapped in cheesecloth or a tea steeper spoon
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 teaspoon sugar substitute or granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• Rue ingredients
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons whipping cream or cream
• 2 tablespoons coconut flour

Instructions

1. In a large pot, add the oil, green peppers, and garlic to saute, then add the shredded cabbage and stir until wilted, about 5 minutes; add your sliced cherry tomatoes to combine for about 1 minute.
2. Add the chicken stock to the pot along with salt and pepper.
3. Set a cheesecloth with a few cloves into the pot.
4. Add turmeric, sugar, and Worcestershire sauce.
5. Let boil on high for 15 minutes, then lower to 7 or 8 on the dial and cook for another 15 minutes.
6. Remove the pot from the stove, and remove the cheesecloth or tea leaf spoon of cloves.
7. Using a hand blender, blend until smooth for 3 minutes.
8. Meanwhile, in another pot, you will make a rue with the butter, coconut flour, and whipping cream by melting the butter and adding the flour and whipping cream.
9. Stir until combined, and it turns a brown color from the butter.
10. Slowly add a few ladles of the soup into the rue and stir, then pour this into the big pot with the rest of the soup and stir.
11. Serve hot or cold topped with fresh basil and grated parmesan, and paired with a grilled cheese sandwich.

Leave The Can Behind For Good

Making homemade cherry tomato soup is so easy you’ll never return to a can of soup again.

Once you make this soup, you can freeze it or store it in mason jars in the refrigerator.

We usually eat soup daily once we have some ready, so we keep it in a container ready to go with a side dish.

Regular tomatoes also work fine if you don’t have money to buy organic produce or have a garden.

You can substitute cherry tomatoes with regular tomatoes if you don’t have them. I’d probably aim for 8 or 9 medium-sized tomatoes.

Enjoy,
