Delicious Soup and Sandwich Combo for Every Occasion

This delightful soup and sandwich combo is the perfect meal for any time of day. Pair a creamy tomato basil soup with a classic grilled cheese sandwich...

Ingredients

  • 2 cups canned diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 slices of bread (your choice)
  • 4 slices of cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat, then add chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and vegetable broth, then bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. Stir in the heavy cream and chopped basil, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
  4. While the soup is simmering, heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter. Once melted, place two slices of bread in the skillet.
  5. Top each slice of bread with a slice of cheddar cheese, then add the remaining bread slices on top to create a sandwich. Grill until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  6. Once the sandwiches are done, remove from the skillet and cut them in half.
  7. Serve the warm soup in bowls alongside the grilled cheese sandwiches for a delicious combo.
