Soup Ingredients

Grilled Cheese Ingredients

Method

Soup Directions

  1. 1

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Vegetables

    Add the minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery to the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Add Liquids and Seasonings

    Pour in the vegetable broth and add the canned diced tomatoes. Stir in the dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Soup

    Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

  5. 5

    Finish with Parsley

    Remove the bay leaf and stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Grilled Cheese Directions

  1. 6

    Prepare the Sandwiches

    Take two slices of bread and place a slice of cheddar cheese in between them to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining bread and cheese.

  2. 7

    Heat the Pan

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter.

  3. 8

    Grill the Sandwiches

    Once the butter is melted, add one sandwich to the skillet. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the second sandwich, adding more butter if necessary.

  4. 9

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the grilled cheese sandwiches from the skillet, slice them in half, and serve alongside the hot soup.
