If you're looking for a comforting and delicious meal, you can't go wrong with a classic combo of creamy tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich. This recipe is easy to make and perfect for a cozy evening at home or a quick lunch break.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cans (28 ounces each) crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 slices of bread
- 8 slices of cheddar cheese
- Butter for grilling
To start, heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes and broth, bring to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes.
Using an immersion blender or transferring to a blender, puree the soup until smooth. Return to the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
For the grilled cheese sandwich, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Butter one side of each slice of bread and place butter-side down in the pan. Top each slice with a slice of cheddar cheese and the remaining bread slices. Grill until golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Serve the creamy tomato soup with the grilled cheese sandwich on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
