Instructions

1

Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook the onion for 4-5 minutes until softened.

2

Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Pour in the canned tomatoes with their juice, add the dried basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.

Tip: Crush the whole tomatoes with a spoon as they cook for a chunkier texture, or blend smooth at the end.

3

While the soup simmers, butter one side of each bread slice. Place cheese between unbuttered sides to form 2 sandwiches.

4

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook each sandwich for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Tip: Press down gently with a spatula for even browning. Low and slow gives better results than high heat.

5

Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth (or leave chunky if preferred). Stir in the heavy cream.

6

Slice the grilled cheese diagonally and serve alongside bowls of hot tomato soup.
