Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Soup

Method

Grilled Cheese Sandwich

  1. 1

    Prepare Bread and Cheese

    Lay out 4 slices of sourdough bread. Place 2 slices of cheddar cheese and 2 slices of swiss cheese between 2 slices of the bread to create 2 sandwiches.

  2. 2

    Butter the Bread

    Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on one side of each sandwich.

  3. 3

    Toast the Sandwich

    In a skillet over medium heat, place the sandwiches butter-side down. Cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Then, butter the top side of the sandwiches and flip them over. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Soup

  1. 4

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

  2. 5

    Add Garlic and Seasonings

    Add minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning to the pot. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 6

    Combine with Broth and Tomatoes

    Pour in the vegetable broth and add the diced tomatoes with their juices. Stir to combine.

  4. 7

    Simmer the Soup

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes.

  5. 8

    Serve

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