2 tablespoons olive oil
1 each onions diced small
2 each carrots diced small
2 stalks celery diced small
2 cloves garlic minced
28 ounces tomatoes, canned 1 can and diced
3 cups vegetable stock or chicken stock
4 slices bread white
3 ounces cheese white, such as gruyere, cheddar, jack or swiss, cut in 4 slices
12 whole peppercorns optional
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 x salt and black pepper to taste

1
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium high heat.
2
Add the diced onion, carrots and celery.
3
Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 6 minutes.
4
Add the garlic and cook 1 minute.
5
Stir in the tomatoes and chicken stock.
6
Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the vegetables are tender, 14 to 16 minutes.
7
Stir occasionally.
8
Meanwhile, using a cookie cutter, cut the bread slices into ghost shapes.
9
Cut the cheese slices into the same shape.
10
Toast the ghosts in a toaster oven.
11
Place them on an oven-safe tray, then place the cheese on top.
12
Use 3 peppercorns to make eyes and a mouth for each ghost.
13
Put them back into the toaster oven and toast again to melt the cheese.
14
(If you don't have a toaster oven, you can broil the cheese toasts about 4 inches beneath the broiler element until the cheese is bubbly, 1 to 2 minutes.)
15
Puree the soup in a blender in two batches.
16
Return it to the pot.
