Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and garlic, and sauté until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, dried basil, sugar, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
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 cheddar cheese, then place the other two slices of bread on top, buttered side up.
5. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook the other side until golden and the cheese is melted.
6. Once the soup has simmered, use an immersion blender to puree it until smooth (or blend in batches in a regular blender). Adjust seasoning if needed.
7. Serve the hot soup in bowls alongside the grilled cheese sandwiches, cut in half for easy dipping.
