Delicious Soup and Sandwich Combo for Comfort Food Lovers

Ingredients

• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
• 1 cup chopped carrots
• 1 cup chopped celery
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 slices of whole grain bread
• 4 slices of cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

1. In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, carrots, celery, and garlic; sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
2. Pour in the vegetable broth and diced tomatoes. Stir in the dried basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
3. While the soup is simmering, prepare the sandwiches. Butter one side of each slice of bread and place one slice, butter-side down, in a skillet over medium heat.
4. Layer a slice of cheddar cheese on the bread in the skillet, then top with another slice of bread, butter-side up. Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side until golden and the cheese is melted.
5. Repeat the grilling process for the remaining sandwiches.
6. Once the soup is ready, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the soup hot alongside the grilled cheese sandwiches.
