Tomato Bisque

Method

Tomato Bisque

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

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

  2. 2

    Add Tomatoes and Broth

    Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Blend and Finish

    Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Stir in heavy cream, basil, salt, and pepper. Heat through and adjust seasoning to taste.

Grilled Cheese

  1. 4

    Prepare the Sandwiches

    Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. On the unbuttered side, layer cheddar, Gruyere, and caramelized onions. Top with another slice of bread, buttered side up.

  2. 5

    Grill the Sandwiches

    In a skillet over medium heat, grill the sandwiches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the cheese is melted.
