Ingredients:

For the Tomato Soup:

• 6 large ripe tomatoes, chopped (or 2 cans of crushed tomatoes)

• 1 medium onion, chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 teaspoon sugar (optional, to balance acidity)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• ½ teaspoon dried basil or fresh basil leaves for garnish

For the Cheesy Onion Toast:

• 4 slices of bread

• 1 small onion, finely sliced

• ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)

• 1 tablespoon butter

• Optional: a pinch of black pepper or paprika for extra flavor

Instructions:

1. Prepare the soup: Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Sauté chopped onions and garlic until soft and fragrant. Add the tomatoes, broth, sugar, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 20–25 minutes. Blend until smooth using a hand blender or regular blender. Return to heat and adjust seasoning as needed.

2. Make the cheesy onion toast: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Sauté the sliced onions in butter until caramelized. Place on top of the bread slices, sprinkle with cheese, and bake for 8–10 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden.

3. Serve: Pour the tomato soup into bowls and serve with the cheesy onion toast on the side. Garnish with fresh basil for a pop of color and flavor.
