Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese image

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons oil (I'm using olive)
1 medium onion (I'm using yellow), sliced or chopped
Salt
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
One 28-ounce can tomato product (I'm using chopped tomatoes)
1 1/2 cups liquid, such as water, vegetable stock or chicken stock (I'm using chicken stock)
3/4 cup cream or milk, optional
2 tablespoons hot sauce, optional
1 tablespoon oregano, optional
2 tablespoons mayonnaise or melted butter
8 slices bread (I'm using white)
6 ounces grated hard cheese (I'm using Parmesan)
16 slices cheese (I'm using Cheddar)
2 tablespoons mustard, optional (I'm using coarse grain)

Steps:

  • For the tomato soup: Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and add the oil. When hot, add the onion and a large pinch of salt and cook until starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Mix in the tomatoes and chicken stock. Add the cream, hot sauce and oregano if using and bring to a simmer. Simmer until thickened and the flavors come together, 20 to 30 minutes. Taste and season with additional salt if needed. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a blender and puree until smooth.
  • For the grilled cheese: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  • Spread the mayonnaise or melted butter on one side of each slice of bread. Sprinkle the Parmesan over the mayonnaise or butter. Flip the slices and put 4 pieces of Cheddar on 4 of the bread slices. Spread the other bread slices with mustard, if using, and close the slices together to form sandwiches (the mayonnaise and Parmesan should be on the outside).
  • Working in batches if necessary, transfer the sandwiches to the skillet and cook until browned and toasted, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Slice and serve with the tomato soup.

QUICK TOMATO SOUP WITH GRILLED CHEESE



Quick Tomato Soup With Grilled Cheese image

When done well, this age-old combination can be exactly what you want. Here, the cooking is as easy as the eating: While you get the soup started in a pot with a can of tomatoes and little more than onion and butter (in the style of Marcella Hazan's famous tomato sauce), you assemble and pan-fry the sandwiches. The particular joy of these lies in their soft, quiet flavors: A thin layer of mayonnaise spread on the inside of the bread heats with the mozzarella, a mild cheese that lets you taste the bread and butter as they are. With a filling this rich and gooey, you want a delicate sweet enriched loaf like brioche or milk bread.

Categories     dinner, easy, lunch, quick, sandwiches, soups and stews, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
3/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth, plus more as needed
1 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Salt and black pepper
Mayonnaise
8 slices brioche or milk bread, crusts removed
1 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella (4 ounces)
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Make the soup: Dump the canned tomatoes and their juices into a medium pot and using your hands, tear into coarse chunks. Swish the broth in the empty tomato can and add to the pot.
  • Stir in the onion, butter, oregano and sugar and season generously with salt and pepper. Turn the heat to high and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and continue simmering, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender and the tomatoes have broken down, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the sandwiches: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread and evenly sprinkle the cheese and a little oregano on the mayonnaise side of 4 slices. Top with the cheeseless slices, mayonnaise-side down.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium. Add the sandwiches and cook until golden brown on the bottoms, 2 to 3 minutes. Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in the pan, then flip the sandwiches with a spatula, move them around to coat with the butter and cook until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn heat to lowest setting to keep sandwiches warm.
  • Carefully purée the tomato soup using a blender until smooth and creamy, adding more broth if needed to loosen to your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the grilled cheeses to a cutting board and cut each in half diagonally. Serve alongside the soup.

TOMATO SOUP WITH GRILLED CHEESE CROUTONS RECIPE BY TASTY



Tomato Soup With Grilled Cheese Croutons Recipe by Tasty image

Name a better pair than tomato soup and grilled cheese-while we wait, we'll dig into this creamy soup and crouton combo. Rather than serving the grilled cheese as whole sandwiches, we cube ours into croutons and serve directly on top of the soup for crunchy, cheesy goodness in every bite.

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Dinner

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large yellow onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minceds
2 teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon sugar
28 oz 1 can of whole peeled tomatoes
3 cups vegetable stock
1 large sprig of fresh basil
1 cup heavy cream
4 slices of bread
unsalted butter, room temperature
sliced cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Make the soup: In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the olive oil and butter together over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until softened and golden, about 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until aromatic, about 1 minute.
  • Add the salt, pepper, thyme, red pepper flakes, sugar, tomatoes and their juices, vegetable stock, and basil. Bring to a boil, using a wooden spoon to break up the tomatoes. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the basil sprig, then use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, ladle the soup into a standing blender, working in batches, and blend until smooth.
  • Add the heavy cream to the soup, cover, and cook over low heat for 5 minutes, until warmed through.
  • Make the croutons: On a cutting board, butter both sides of each slice of bread. Lay the cheese on 2 of the bread slices. Top with the other slices of bread, creating a sandwich.
  • Heat a large pan over medium-low heat. Once the pan is warm, add the sandwiches and cook until golden brown on the underside, 2-3 minutes. Flip the sandwiches over and continue cooking until the other side golden brown and cheese is melted, about 2 minutes.

  • Serve the tomato soup topped with the grilled cheese croutons.
  • Enjoy!

THE ULTIMATE GRILLED CHEESE AND TOMATO SOUP BOWL RECIPE BY TASTY

Here's what you need: unsalted butter, large yellow onion, garlic, crushed tomato, chicken broth, heavy cream, salt, pepper, white bread, butter, garlic, large egg, cheddar cheese, olive oil, dried oregano, pepper, salt

Provided by Katie Aubin

Categories     Lunch

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
15 oz crushed tomato, 1 can
2 cups chicken broth
¼ cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
11 slices white bread
2 tablespoons butter, melted, plus more for greasing bowl
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large egg, beaten
7 slices cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons dried oregano
½ teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Make the tomato soup: melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and stir for 6-8 minutes, until the onions just start to brown.
  • Add the garlic and stir for another minute. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, heavy cream, salt, and pepper.
  • Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the soup from heat and transfer to a blender. Remove vent so that steam can escape. Blend for 2 minutes, until the soup is smooth and thick. Alternatively, leave the soup in the pot and use an immersion blender.
  • Make the grilled cheese bowl: cut the crusts off the bread and set aside in a medium bowl.
  • Arrange the bread slices into 3 lines: a line of 5, a line of 4, and a line of 2.
  • In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and garlic and use a brush to spread the mixture over each piece of bread.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Brush the bottom of each slice in egg wash and then dab the bottom of each piece of bread in the line of 5 and the line of 4. Dab all four sides of the bread in the group of 2. Overlap the edges of the 5 pieces of bread, then press the edges together to adhere. Repeat with the line of 4.
  • In a greased medium oven-safe bowl, place one of the single slices of bread. Then, take the line of 5 slices and make it into a circle on the inside of the bowl. Press down the edges to adhere to the piece of bread at the bottom of the bowl.
  • Cover the bread with 6 slices of cheese. Lay the remaining single slice of bread over the cheese, then make a circle with the line of 4 slices of bread, pressing to seal the edges and adhere to the bread below. Lay the remaining slice of cheese on the bottom.
  • Using a small bowl, press down on the bread bowl to compress slightly.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, until the bread is golden brown.
  • Make the crouton fries: Add the olive oil, oregano, pepper, and salt to the bowl with the crusts. Toss until thoroughly coated. Transfer the crusts to a large baking sheet.
  • Bake for 5 minutes, until the crusts are golden brown.
  • Remove the bowl and crouton fries from oven. Use tongs to move the bread bowl from the bowl to a serving dish. Fill with tomato soup.
  • Enjoy!

FRESH TOMATO SOUP WITH CRISPY CHEESE TOAST



Fresh Tomato Soup with Crispy Cheese Toast image

We're doing a very fresh twist on the classic cream of tomato soup with a grilled cheese sandwich. Since we're using fresh tomatoes at their peak of vine-ripened goodness, this simple soup is going to be not quite, but almost, 100% tomato.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Vegetable Soup Recipes     Tomato Soup Recipes

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 ½ pounds vine-ripened tomatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 anchovy fillet
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 pinch red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 slices Italian bread
¼ cup thinly sliced basil leaves
6 ounces shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Remove cores from tomatoes and cut in half crosswise. Reserve until needed.
  • Heat olive oil and butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and anchovy and cook until garlic is sizzling in the hot fat, 45 seconds to 1 minute. Carefully add the tomatoes with their juices, salt, and red pepper flakes. Toss with a spoon every few minutes until the tomatoes release their liquid and start to break down.
  • Once the tomatoes have softened and start to collapse, reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have fallen apart and the soup resembles a coarse tomato sauce, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil or a silicone liner. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  • Place the bread slices on the prepared baking sheet. Top each slice with sliced basil, and then Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is well browned and crispy around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
  • Remove soup from heat and pass through a mesh strainer into a bowl. Use the back of a ladle to push all the tomato mixture through. Discard the skins and seeds, which should be the only things left in the strainer.
  • Transfer the strained tomato soup back into the saucepan and place back over medium-low heat. Continue cooking to thicken slightly, if desired, or simply bring back to a simmer and serve immediately with the cheese toasts.
