Pure comfort food!! My family and I loved this! I doubled all the proportions and used fat-free cream cheese, but kept everything else the same.

I just made the soup, not the brie toast. Bisque was delicious.

This was absolutely delicious! It is very similar to the tomato basil soup you get at La Madeleine which I love. I used the 1 can of diced and 2 of sauce and when it was almost ready I used a hand blender to mash the diced tomatoes up a bit more. It turned out thick and hearty and the flavor was amazing!

The grilled brie sandwiches turned out very good and cooked great in the oven. Very enjoyable spin!

Great!! The only change I made was that I toasted the Brie on homemade whole grain bread (on a super strict diet at the time) but it was fantastic soup that even my husband ate...he doesn't believe that soup is a meal, but now he is a believer.

I loved this soup! I substituted one can of diced tomatoes and one can of tomato puree to improve the texture. It tasted great. Not at all bland. A little to much spice for me but I have a weak tongue. My husband and father-in-law who like spice really enjoyed it. This recipe will definitely be made often at my house.

I just made the soup and it was very bland. It looked very good, but just tasted like tomato sauce, not even soup. I had to add ALOT to it, and even then it was no where near the taste of a bisque.

We have finally found the soup our taste buds were craving! Our personal favorites- for now!! I couldn't find puree so I used a can of 29 oz. tomato sauce. Actually, I have 6 in my family so I doubled it. This is what I did- 2 can of the tomato sauce and a can (14 oz.) of italitan stewed diced tomatoes. That may have been a mistake! The soup was really good, but the stewed tomatoes had citric acid and made the soup a bit tart. My husband asked me to leave it next time, although it didn't ruin it. I noticed other people put intheir reviews that this is what they did, so I thought I would try it. Anyhow... We loved it. The cream cheese took a LONG time to melt, but I cooked it on med. heat and kept stirring it because I really wanted it to simmer down and thicken up. It ended up cooking about 30 minutes, but that was okay. I was making grilled cheese and ham sandwiches to eat w/ it and the timing was almost perfect. My 4 year old even ate it, after I told her it was spaghetti sauce! She's funny! I topped it w/ fresh grated parmesaen cheese and that really completed it. I will definately make this one again!!

Very good! Used heavy cream rather than the milk and white bread as I did not have rye. It was Excellent! For those who had trouble whisking in the cream cheese, just soften in the micro wave a bit and it belnds in beautifully. Thanks for a great recipe!

We did not like this. We love rye and tomato bisque, so thought this would be a winner. We now know we don't like brie! Also, the soup tasted like a spiced tomatoe puree instead of a good bisque. I ended up doubling the cream cheese, which made it edible. I was so excited to try this recipe, so it was very disappointing.

This was DELICIOUS. By far the best tomato soup I've ever had! I did substitute the tomato sauce/diced tomatoes for the puree. Also, I used soft cream cheese (in a tub), which was very easy to whisk into the soup. This soup definitely has a kick to it, so tone down the red pepper if you don't like spicy food. I used ciabatta bread instead of rye, and it turned out really well. Thank you for such a great and extremely easy recipe!!

I'm not a fan of rye bread, but I thought it was pretty good paired with the Brie. The soup, however, wasn't nice at all. I'd try this again but make my own tomato soup from scratch.

Delicious! Rather than a large can or sauce, I used a 15 oz can of tomato sauce and then a 14.5 oz can of stewed tomatoes, blended together to a puree, and then did the rest of the recipe as written. I served it with homemade grilled cheese rather than the brie toasts. Mmmm!

This recipe was OK. I thought it tasted too much like thick tomato sauce and nothing else. The cream cheese didn't quite melt all the way so there were tiny little 'chunks' of cream cheese. It wasn't so bad with the toast and brie. I guess I was hoping it would be just as good on its own. But I still encourage you to try it...maybe it wasn't exactly for me.

The soup was really good! I just didn't enjoy the brie toast so much- I think I would prefer a different cheese. I didn't have rye, so I used whole-wheat. I cut the recipe in half for me and my two children. They really liked the soup (I made their toasts with cheddar and they liked that too). The soup is tangy and flavorful. Even though I used a whisk, I still had tiny peices of cream cheese that didn't get incorporated, but it was hardly noticeable. I omitted the red pepper flakes so I (and the babies)would enjoy it more. ;) I used a can of tomato sauce too, instead of puree. Good simple recipe, and no harder than heating up canned tomato soup!

Really good! I would use the other suggestions about using sauce and canned tomatoes... the consistency using just the puree was a bit thick, almost like a sauce. I even doubled the milk in order to thin it, but it didn't really help. The brie toasts were delicious! I never thought to make a grilled cheese out of brie and rye.

I loved, the spice and thick texture. Easy to make. I thought it needed salt and the cream cheese gave it a bit of a sour taste. Next time I make it I am going to cut down on the cream cheese and add some butter. Great recipe. Thanks!
