Grilled Cheese with Tomato Soup

Instructions

1. 1

   Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Melt 1 tbsp butter in a pot over medium heat and cook the onion 5 minutes, then the garlic for 30 seconds.

2. 2

   Add crushed tomatoes, broth, sugar, salt and pepper. Simmer 12-15 minutes.

3. 3

   Blend the soup smooth with an immersion blender (or carefully in a blender), then stir in the cream and keep warm.

4. 4

   Butter one side of each bread slice. Build sandwiches with 2 slices of cheese inside, buttered sides out.

5. 5

   Cook in a skillet over medium-low heat 3-4 minutes per side until golden and melty. Low heat is the trick for melted centers.

6. 6

   Cut sandwiches into strips for dipping and serve with the soup.
