Tomato Cheddar Soup with Cheesy Toast Top

Preheat oven to 450°F.

Warm soup on the stove per the package’s instructions.

While the soup is warming, spread softened butter generously over both sides of the baguette slices.  

Heat a skillet on medium-high heat, then brown the baguette slices for 2-3 minutes on each side. Look for a slightly crisp crust and golden-brown color to develop.  

Remove the bread from the pan, and rub lightly with the whole peeled clove of garlic. 

Ladle the warmed soup into two oven-safe bowls, nestle the slices of baguette gently onto the surface of the soup, then heap with grated Smoked Flagship cheese – don’t be shy!  

Place the bowls onto a baking sheet to collect any drips, then place them on the middle upper shelf of the oven.  

Roast for 5-8 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbling, and lightly blistered. 

Remove from oven, sprinkle lightly with flaky salt & enjoy!
