Tomato Bisque and Cheese Toasts | Kaiser Permanente

Warm the olive oil in a soup pot and cook the onions until they begin to soften, about 7 minutes. Add the thyme sprigs and the garlic. Stir until fragrant. Add the tomatoes, broth, honey, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 30 minutes. Remove the thyme sprigs. Purée some of the soup in a blender, food processor, or with a handheld blender. Stir in the milk and adjust the seasonings. For toasts, brown the slices on both sides under the broiler. Brush one side with a little Dijon mustard. Top with a layer of a low-fat (real) cheese of your choice and broil until melted. Dip these into this incredibly rich and flavorful soup.
