bourbon tomato soup shooters with grilled cheese rims
Back in the ol’ figure out what I want to-do days.
Wait. I’m still figuring that out. Shoot.
Okay, back in the ol’ 45 seconds ago of still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up, I thought being a buyer would be totally fetch. You know for Nordstroms, Saks, Bloomingdales, or Neiman Marcus. For some reason, that job was deemed super cool when you are seventeen. Buying couture clothing, jet-setting to Paris, and the most important, a discount!
But after dreaming for a few minutes of said lifestyle, I thought, what about being a buyer for Sky Mall? Could you imagine the crazy s$*t you would have to pick out? Like a dragon for your front yard? A mathematical expressions clock? Or my personal favorite, a knight suit?!
Even though being a buyer for SkyMall is a little far fetched, these bourbon tomato soup shooters with grilled cheese rims are quite the opposite. This recipe is a version from a recently new favorite cookbook I received from my Aunt Joan called The Culinary Center of Kansas City Best Recipes. She is part time sous chef at the Culinary Center and has mad cooking skills. I like to think I have some of her culinary DNA running through me.
Anyway, this tomato soup uses fire roasted canned tomatoes (GASP!) as the base, but it actually works especially in the winter when tomatoes look like they got slapped around at the grocery store. Add a little cream, half/half, onion, garlic, and the piece de resistance, bourbon!
Mix everything together and you have a hearty, luxurious soup ready in 30 minutes.
Now, about that knight suit….
Bourbon Tomato Soup Shooters with Grilled Cheese Rims
Ingredients:
for the soup:
3 pounds canned fire roasted whole tomatoes
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 yellow onion, diced
1 garlic clove, diced
1 tablespoon dried basil
2 cups cream
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/3 cup bourbon
lemon wedge
salt and pepper to taste
for the grilled cheese:
3/4 cup fine breadcrumbs
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated finely
Directions:
for the soup:
Preheat a large Dutch oven to medium-high heat. Melt the butter. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened about four minutes. Next, add dried basil and tomatoes with liquid to pan. You'll want to break up some of the whole tomatoes to ensure even cooking. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer for about 17 to 20 minutes.
Once cooked, take an immersion blender and blend the soup in the pot. Next, add the cream and brown sugar. Stir to combine and heated through. Add the bourbon, salt and pepper to taste to make sure everything tastes delicious!
Next, take a small glass and rub the rim with a lemon wedge. Place the rim in the grilled cheese mixture. Pour some of the soup into the shooter. Repeat until all glasses have been filled. Enjoy!
for the grilled cheese:
In a small skillet preheated to medium heat, combine breadcrumbs and cheese. Toast until until golden brown. Remove from skillet and place on a plate.

I love that you used to dream of being a buyer for SkyMall. That is so something I would have imagined too, however I’ve never imagined or seen anything like these shooters before. They are the height of awesome. Yes, please! Pinned!
LOL!! Thanks, Tori! I’m kind of thinking they should put these shooters in Sky Mall…..:)
Too freaking cute. Love the way these look – fancy as heck!
Thanks, Katrina!
These are so fun, what an awesome idea!
Thanks, Naomi!
Ok, I have to admit. I’ve had a few wild ideas about what I want to be when I grow up. But how come I never thought about becoming a buyer? Fantastic.
And about those canned tomatoes: if it’s a good variety I believe they make a better soup than fresh ones ever will, unless you live somewhere in the sunny mediterranean and row your own tomatoes with lots of love and labor. And those grilled cheese rims? Mind blown!
Agreed. I used Muir Glen tomatoes and they were outstanding. Thanks, Nora!
This soup sounds incredible – INCREDIBLE!
We have a running joke here (my husband and I) about all of the careers I’ve thought of over the years for myself…we are on like 390294775 or something like that.
This recipe is just straight up crazy, in the BEST way. Such ingenuity. I love it!
Um, we should so make this in Deer Valley! xoxo
This recipe sounds wonderful. And the photos – so fun!
OMG….I’m not certain if these are for dinner or a drink…better read the ingredients. They certainly are beautiful whatever they are! 🙂
SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS! Why do I want to sing that song while raising the roof after seeing these photos???
This is so stinkin clever! I love it!
Now THAT is my kind of shooter. Love it!
I feel like the bourbon is really key here. Warms you up from the inside out!
This might be the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.
These just ooze winter comfort food! Curl up on the couch with one of these? Yes please!
