Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
Rather than open can of tomato soup, why not make it from scratch? A delicious treat anytime of the day, this homemade tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches are easy to make.
Ingredients
For the Soup:
10-12 fresh tomatoes
1 cup chicken stock
1 can Italian tomato paste, 6 oz. can
1 tbsp Italian seasoning blend
1/2 small onion
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp no-salt herb blend
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Cheese Crisps:
2 cups shredded parmesan cheese
For the Grilled Cheese Sandwich
8 slices of bread
16 slices of cheese
vegetable spray
Instructions
1
To make the soup, add all of the soup ingredients into your blender and puree together.
2
Transfer the tomato mixture to a large pot, bring to a bowl and reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring on occasion. Taste, season with salt and pepper as needed.
3
To make the cheese crisps, heat a non-stick pan on the stove and pour 1/2 cup at a time of the shredded parmesan cheese into the pan and carefully spread it into a 3 inch circle (more or less).
4
Let the cheese melt and brown on one side and using a spatula, carefully turn the cheese crisp over to brown the other side. Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining cheese.
5
To make the grilled cheese sandwiches, divide the cheese slices between 4 slices of bread and top each slice with the other pieces of bread.
6
Heat a large saute pan on the stove and spray each side of the bread slices with vegetable spray and pan “grill” each side of the sandwiches for about 2 minutes or until they are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
7
Serve the soup with the cheese crisps and grilled cheese sandwiches. Enjoy!
