Ingredients:

For the Grilled Cheese:

• 4 slices sandwich bread
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 2 tbsp butter, softened

For the Tomato Soup:

• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
• 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• ½ cup heavy cream
• 1 tsp sugar
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp dried basil

Method:

1. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 4–5 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
2. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, broth, sugar, salt, black pepper, and basil. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes.
3. Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for another 3–5 minutes. Blend the soup until smooth if desired.
4. Butter one side of each bread slice. Place cheese between two slices, butter-side out. Cook in a skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Serve hot alongside the tomato soup. 🥪🍅✨
