Waffled Grilled Cheese

Tomato Artichoke Soup

Method

Waffled Grilled Cheese

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread and Cheese

    Take 4 slices of sourdough bread. Layer 2 slices of cheddar and 2 slices of Swiss cheese between two slices of sourdough.

  2. 2

    Butter the Bread

    Spread butter on the outer sides of the sourdough bread slices.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Waffle Maker

    Plug in and preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

  4. 4

    Waffle the Sandwich

    Place the sandwich in the preheated waffle maker and sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on the outside. Close the waffle maker and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove and Slice

    Carefully remove the sandwich from the waffle maker and let it cool for a minute before slicing it in half.

Tomato Artichoke Soup

  1. 6

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and crushed garlic, sauté until they are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

  2. 7

    Add Tomatoes and Artichokes

    Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes and artichoke hearts. Cook for another 5 minutes.

  3. 8

    Add Broth and Seasonings

    Pour in the vegetable broth, add dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Bring the soup to a simmer.

  4. 9

    Blend the Soup

    Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, blend the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender, be sure to let the soup cool slightly before blending.

  5. 10

    Serve Hot

    Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot alongside the waffled grilled cheese.
