Roasted Creamy Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese Recipe
There’s a reason that tomato soup and grilled cheese is the ultimate comfort food combo—it’s cozy, nostalgic, and basically a warm hug in food form. This creamy tomato soup is made with fresh tomatoes, sweet onions, garlic, and a touch of heavy cream, while the grilled cheese sandwiches are stuffed with melty cheese on thick slices of sourdough that toast up perfectly golden brown.
Ingredients
For the Tomato soup
- 3.5 lbs Large Tomatoes quartered (such as beefsteak)
- 2 small Sweet Onions quartered
- 5 cloves Garlic ends removed
- ¼ cup Olive Oil
- 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1.5 teaspoon Salt divided
- ½ cup Heavy Cream
- 2 tablespoon Salted Butter
- ½ teaspoon Sugar
- 3 tablespoon Fresh Basil. Julienned
For the Grilled Cheese
- 8 slices Sourdough
- 8 slices Colby Jack
- 1 cup Unexpected Cheddar shredded
- 4 tablespoon Salted Butter
Instructions
For the Tomato Soup
- Preheat oven to 450F degrees.
- Add tomatoes, onions, garlic, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and Italian seasoning to a large dutch oven and toss.
- Turn all the tomatoes cut side up and then place in the oven for 1 hour.
- Remove from the oven and use a blender or immersion blender to blend the tomatoes up.
- Stir in heavy cream, remaining salt, sugar, butter, and a few cranks fresh cracked pepper.
- Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
- Finish with a sprinkle of fresh basil before serving.
For the Grilled Cheese
- Add two slices of Colby jack to 4 slices of bread and then evenly distribute the shredded unexpected cheddar on top.
- Add the remaining bread to the top then smear ½ tablespoon of butter on the top of each sandwich.
- Heat a large fry pan over medium and place the sandwiches in, butter side down. If you only have a small fry pan, cook two sandwiches at a time.
- Smear the rest of the butter over the top of the sandwiches while they’re cooking. Once the bottoms are golden brown, carefully flip the sandwiches and cook the other side; about 4 minutes on each side.
- Once golden brown on all sides and the cheese has melted, remove from heat and serve with tomato soup.
