- Heat 3 Tbsp. oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium. Add garlic, onion, and carrots; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until onion is translucent and just starting to brown around the edges, 8–10 minutes.
- Add 1 tsp. paprika and stir to coat vegetables. Cook, stirring, until fragrant. Add whole tomatoes and cook, stirring often, until tomatoes start to burst and break down, 10–15 minutes.

- Meanwhile, grate 4 oz. cheddar cheese on the large holes of a box grater.
- Add 15-oz. can crushed tomatoes, reserved tomato juices, 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce, and 1 cup water to pot and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook 8–10 minutes, just to help flavors meld.
- Remove from heat and purée soup with an immersion blender until smooth.
- Stir about ¼ cup hot soup into ¼ cup sour cream in a small bowl, then stir back into soup (for a creamier soup, feel free to add more). Taste and season with more salt and pepper, if needed. Don’t let soup come back to a boil at this point or sour cream may split.
- Place a rack in top position of oven; heat broiler. Place 4 slices bread on foil-lined rimmed baking sheet and drizzle both sides with remaining 2 Tbsp. oil.
- Broil bread until one side is golden and toasted, then remove from oven and turn slices. Broil until second side is golden.
- Remove from oven and rub cut sides of remaining garlic cloves over top of toasted bread.
- Arrange grated cheese over bread, dividing evenly. Broil until cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Ladle soup into bowl and top with a dollop of sour cream.
- Cut bread into soldiers and serve with soup.
- Do Ahead: Soup can be made 3 days ahead. Let cool, cover, and chill. Reheat gently over medium-low, stirring occasionally.
