Ingredients

• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 carrots, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
• 1 cup green beans, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 slices of bread (your choice)
• 4 slices of cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

1. In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Stir in the dried thyme and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Add the vegetable broth and diced tomatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
4. Add the chopped green beans and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
5. While the soup is cooking, prepare the grilled cheese sandwiches. Heat a skillet over medium heat and butter one side of each slice of bread.
6. Place two slices of bread, butter-side down, in the skillet. Top with cheese and the other slices of bread, butter-side up.
7. Cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing down lightly with a spatula.
8. Serve the hot soup in bowls alongside the grilled cheese sandwiches, cut into halves for easy dipping.
