Instructions
Simmer the Soup
Pour both cans of crushed tomatoes and the broth into a medium saucepan over medium heat, stir to combine, and bring to a gentle simmer, cooking for 10 minutes while stirring occasionally to allow the flavors to develop.
Blend Until Smooth
Use an immersion blender directly in the pot to blend the soup until completely smooth and velvety, or carefully transfer to a countertop blender in batches, then return the smooth soup to the pot over low heat.
Add Cream and Cheese
Stir the heavy cream into the warm soup until fully incorporated, then add the shredded cheddar cheese a little at a time, stirring constantly until all the cheese has melted and the soup is rich and creamy.
Make the Toast and Serve
Butter both sides of each bread slice and toast them in a skillet or toaster until golden and crispy, then cut each slice into four long strips to make toast soldiers, ladle the hot soup into bowls, and serve with the toast strips on the side for dipping.
