• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 4 slices of bread (your choice)

Instructions

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

3. Add the crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, dried basil, sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
4. Stir in heavy cream and adjust seasoning if necessary. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth or leave it chunky as per your preference.
5. For the sandwich, butter one side of each slice of bread. Place cheese between two slices, buttered sides out.
6. In a skillet over medium heat, grill the sandwich until golden brown and cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.
7. Serve the hot soup in bowls alongside the grilled cheese sandwich, cut into halves or quarters.
