Delicious Soup and Sandwich Combo for a Cozy Meal

This soup and sandwich combo is the perfect comfort meal for any occasion. With a creamy tomato soup paired with a classic grilled cheese sandwich, it's a delightful duo that warms the heart.

Ingredients

• 2 cups of canned crushed tomatoes
• 1 cup of vegetable broth
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 slices of bread (your choice)
• 4 slices of cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, dried basil, salt, and pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
3. While the soup is simmering, prepare the grilled cheese sandwiches. Heat a skillet over medium heat.
4. Butter one side of each slice of bread. Place two slices, buttered side down, in the skillet. Top each with a slice of cheese, then place the other two slices of bread on top, buttered side up.
5. Cook the sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
6. Once the soup is ready, blend it for a smoother texture if desired. Serve hot alongside the grilled cheese sandwiches.
