  • 1 cup cheddar cheese
  • nonstick cooking spray
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • Spray a baking sheet liberally with nonstick cooking spray or oil.
  • Mound the shredded cheese into small piles, keeping at least 1.5” between each as they’ll spread when they bake.
  • Sprinkle the tiny piles with a pinch of garlic powder.
  • Bake at 350 for 5-6 minutes.
  • Watch closely and pull once you see the cheese take on a light brown color at the edges.
  • Set aside while you prepare your soup.
  • -In a pot over medium heat, add extra virgin olive oil, chopped garlic and diced onions.
  • Cook in oil for 2 minutes until aromatic, taking care not to burn.
  • -Once onion and garlic have softened, add crushed tomatoes and allow to simmer for about 5 minutes so that it begins to take on the onion and garlic flavors.
  • Stir in the chicken broth and allow to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  • -Turn the heat to low and stir in cream.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Garnish with fresh basil or parsley leaves, and top with cheddar crisps as croutons.
