Smoky Tomato Soup in Dark Rye Bread Bowls
Fire-roasted tomatoes, smoked paprika and a little honey make a brick-red soup with a gentle campfire edge. Served inside hollowed rye loaves, the bread soaks up the soup and becomes the best part of the meal.
Test kitchen note: Brush the inside of each hollowed loaf with butter and toast for 8 minutes; the crisp layer keeps the soup from leaking through.
Method 5 steps
-
Heat the oven to 375F. Slice the tops off the loaves and scoop out the insides, leaving a 1/2-inch wall. Brush inside with melted butter and toast on a tray for 8 minutes.
-
Warm the olive oil in a pot and cook the onion until soft, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and paprika for 1 minute.
-
Add the tomatoes, stock and honey and simmer for 20 minutes.
-
Blend until smooth and season well with salt and pepper. Simmer a few minutes more if it seems thin.
-
Set each bread bowl on a plate, fill with hot soup and serve with sour cream and herb butter on the side.
That is the whole pie. Enjoy every slice.
