Grilled Cheese

Tomato Soup

Method

Grilled Cheese

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sandwich

    Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Place 4 oz of aged cheddar cheese between two slices of bread, buttered sides out.

  2. 2

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich on the skillet and grill until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before slicing.

Tomato Soup

  1. 3

    Cook the Base

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until the onion is translucent.

  2. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Broth

    Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes.

  3. 5

    Blend the Soup

    Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup.

  4. 6

    Finish the Soup

    Stir in the heavy cream and fresh basil. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, then adjust seasoning to taste.
