Delicious Soup and Sandwich Combo for a Cozy Meal

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. In a pot over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, dried basil, and sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
4. Blend the soup using an immersion blender until smooth, then stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. While the soup simmers, heat a skillet over medium heat. Butter one side of each slice of bread.
6. Place two slices of bread, butter-side down, in the skillet and add two slices of cheddar cheese on each. Top with the remaining bread slices, butter-side up.
7. Grill the sandwiches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side, and the cheese is melted.
8. Serve the warm grilled cheese sandwiches alongside the creamy tomato soup for a perfect soup and sandwich combo.
