Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cans (14.5 ounces each) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 4 slices keto-friendly bread
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, chopped

Instructions:

  1. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  3. Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the soup has thickened.
  4. While the soup is simmering, preheat a skillet over medium heat. Spread the butter on one side of each slice of bread.
  5. Place two slices of bread, butter-side down, in the skillet. Top each slice with half of the cheddar cheese. Place the remaining two slices of bread on top, butter-side up.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  7. Remove the grilled cheese sandwiches from the skillet and cut into cubes.
  8. Ladle the creamy tomato soup into bowls and top with the grilled cheese croutons and roasted red peppers.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips:

  • For a creamier soup, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
  • If you prefer a spicier soup, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce.
  • For a more colorful soup, add some chopped fresh basil or parsley.
  • Serve the soup with a side of keto-friendly crackers or bread for dipping.

There you have it! This keto-friendly creamy tomato soup is a delicious and satisfying meal that’s perfect for any occasion. So go ahead, indulge in a bowl of this comforting goodness and savor every bite!
