Rachael Ray's Smoky Tomato Soup with Mini Grilled Cheese and Bacon Sammies Sammie nights are always fun; this one brings out the little kid in me. --Rachael Ray Smoky Tomato Soup with Mini Grilled Cheese and Bacon Sammies (Serves 4) 1 tablespoon EVOO (extra-virgin olive oil) 4 slices smoked bacon, chopped 3 garlic cloves, chopped 1 onion, chopped 3 celery stalks, chopped 2 carrots, chopped Salt and pepper 4 cups chicken stock 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram or oregano 1 (28-ounce) can crushed fire-roasted tomatoes, partially drained (if you only have diced or whole fire-roasted tomatoes, don't sweat it; it all gets ground up later) 1 teaspoon sugar 2 teaspoons hot smoked paprika, 2/3 palmful 1/4 cup heavy cream Butter, for the skillet 16 slices of party-size rye, pumpernickel, or whole wheat bread, such as Pepperidge Farm 8 square slices of extra-sharp cheddar cheese, 1/4 inch thick 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives 1-1/2 cups (a single-serving bag) white cheddar popcorn Heat the EVOO in a medium soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the crispy bacon to paper towels to drain and reserve for the mini grilled cheese and bacon sammies. To the same pot, add the garlic, onions, celery, and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. Scoop the veggies into a food processor, add about 1/2 cup of the chicken stock and the marjoram, and puree until smooth. If the tomatoes you are using are whole or diced, add them to the processor with the veggies and puree. Return the pureed veggies to the pot, place back over medium-high heat, and add the remaining chicken stock, the crushed or pureed fire-roasted tomatoes, the sugar, and the smoked paprika. Bring the soup up to a bubble, stir in the cream, and keep warm over low heat while you make the sammies. Heat some butter in a large skillet over medium heat. While the butter is melting, lay 8 of the bread slices on a cutting board. Top each one with a slice of cheese, a sprinkle of the reserved bacon, some chives, and another slice of bread. Transfer 4 of the mini sammies to the hot skillet and cook until the sandwich is toasted on both sides and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining 4 sammies. Serve the smoky tomato soup with some popcorn floating on top and the grilled mini grilled cheese and bacon sammies alongside.

Recipes are designed for cooks of all levels, and meals with more than one course are marked so that cooks can maximize time and effort. Dishes range from the familiar, such as a weeknight pot roast, to the more ambitious lemon and garlic chicken with grilled prosciutto-wrapped asparagus served with a pesto three-bean salad. Ray includes something for every appetite, from the hearty Buffalo chicken chili mac and sausage mushroom ragu with rigatoni to the more refined tomato and shrimp salad with horseradish dressing. She also includes family hand-me-down recipes and dishes that require longer than 30 minutes. Lavish photographs accompany each dish, making even the simplest meal mouthwatering. With its attractive package and moderate price tag, Ray's multitude of fans will flock to this extensive collection, making it a great holiday gift purchase. (Nov.)

Rating - Great Book This book has something for everyone. And easy. Rachel really knows how to put together everyday things for even the beginner. I'm not a great cook and I can put together most of these things. Like I said, something for everyone. Buy it. Rating - Inspiring and tasty collection of recipes I can always count on a Rachel Ray recipe to taste fantastic. She has an excellent palate and can put in ingredients together that taste incredible. I received this as a Christmas present and have been cooking like crazy since. I've been in a bit of a "cooking rut" and this has me totally refreshed. I highly recommend the Steakhouse Shepherd's Pie and the Ground Gyros Platter deluxe (these, by the way, taste almost better than the real thing). I look forward to trying just about everything in this book! ...
