My Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup image

Tomato soup and grilled cheese is a classic flavor combo that Vail has managed to take over the top. Don't skimp on all four types of cheese. They are a must to complete this dynamic duo and make for a gooey grilled cheese. The tomato soup is creamy and robust. We can't imagine a better way to warm up after being outside on a...

TOMATO SOUP
3 Tbsp butter
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 medium carrot, diced
1 stalk(s) celery, diced
2 can(s) crushed tomatoes (28 oz each)
2 clove garlic, minced (or to taste)
1 bay leaf
1/4 c fresh basil, chopped
6 sprig(s) parsley
4 c vegetable stock
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 c heavy cream
salt and pepper, to taste
GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES
1 loaf sliced sourdough bread (or small loaves for mini sandwiches)
sliced Fontina
sliced Gruyere
sliced aged cheddar
sliced Manchego
butter

Steps:

  • 1. Melt 2 Tbsp butter in a large pot. Saute onion, garlic, and celery until soft.
  • 2. Add tomatoes, parsley, carrots, bay leaf, and stock. Bring to a boil and immediately reduce heat to a simmer and cover the pot.
  • 3. Skim the top of any fat or froth, if desired. Remove parsley and bay leaf and blend the soup in batches of 2 cups or so or use an immersion blender.
  • 4. Add heavy cream, thyme, basil, and 1 Tbsp butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper. NOTE: Keeps well in the fridge.
  • 5. For the grilled cheese, butter one side of each slice of bread. (It's important to butter the bread and not the pan so that the toast browns more evenly.) Put an even amount of slices of each type of cheese on half of the bread slices. Top each with a second bread slice to form your sandwiches. Grill on a flat pan or use panini press or personal-size grill for about 5-7 minutes.
  • 6. Dip sandwich in soup and enjoy!!

I've been making this grilled cheese and tomato soup recipe for years, and it's always a hit! My kids love it, and it's so easy to make. I usually use cheddar cheese, but I've also tried it with mozzarella and Swiss cheese. It's always delicious.
