Easy American Delicious Soup and Sandwich Combo Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup cooked shredded chicken (optional)
• 4 slices whole grain bread
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

1. In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until soft.
2. Pour in the broth and add the diced tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
3. If using, stir in the shredded chicken and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm over low heat.
4. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Place two slices of bread in the skillet and top each with a slice of cheddar cheese.
5. Cover with the remaining slices of bread to form sandwiches. Cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side, pressing down slightly with a spatula.
6. Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice them in half, and serve alongside the hot soup.
