  • Serve the tomato soup with a swirl of cream and fresh basil leaves with the grilled cheese.

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.

The Ultimate Grilled Cheese And Tomato Soup Bowl Recipe by Tasty image

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!

TOMATO SOUP AND GRILLED CHEESE



Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese image

Growing up in India, the Masala cheese toast was a regular staple breakfast dish. What set it apart was the only processed cheese available in India at that time (Amul cheese), which resembles a hard white Cheddar, paired with cilantro and roasted cumin for grilled cheese taken to the next level. The tomato soup is made with lentils, which adds to the creaminess of the soup; the curry leaves and Indian spices make it the perfect tomato soup to dunk the masala grilled cheese in.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
5 curry leaves
1 whole dried red chile
3 large yellow onions, sliced
2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste (equal parts ground in a mortar and pestle)
1 bunch fresh cilantro, leaves roughly torn off
5 red tomatoes
1 cup tomato puree
1 cup masoor dal, washed
1/4 cup sambar powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 13.5-ounce can coconut milk
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup grated Amul cheese (or white Cheddar)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon red chili powder
1/4 teaspoon roasted cumin powder
1/4 teaspoon garam masala
Kosher salt
Four 1/2-inch-thick slices sourdough, cut from a boule
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

Steps:

  • For the tomato soup: Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until hot. Add the cumin seeds, mustard seeds, curry leaves and red chile and cook until it crackles, about 30 seconds. Add the onions, ginger-garlic paste and cilantro and cook until the onions are slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, tomato puree, masoor dal, sambar powder, salt and pepper, to taste. Cover with water until all the fresh tomatoes are covered and let it cook on a low heat until the lentils are soft, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Carefully ladle the soup into a high-powered blender and blend until smooth, taking care when blending hot liquids. Pour into a medium-large saucepan and add the coconut milk and butter. Heat over medium, stirring occasionally, until just bubbling.
  • For the cheese filling: Combine the cheese, cilantro, chili powder, cumin, garam masala and salt to taste in a medium bowl and reserve.
  • For the sandwiches: Lay out the bread slices and top half of the slices with the cheese filling. Top with the other slices of bread and spread half the softened butter on the top piece of each sandwich.
  • Preheat a double-burner cast-iron griddle pan over medium heat. Add the sandwiches, butter-side down. Carefully spread the remaining butter on the top sides of the sandwiches and cook, turning once, until the bread is golden, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the sandwiches to paper towels. Cut each sandwich in half on the diagonal.
  • Serve the tomato soup hot with the grilled cheese sandwiches on the side.

GOOD OLD-FASHIONED AMERICAN GRILLED CHEESE AND TOMATO SOUP



Good Old-Fashioned American Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

20 slices deli-sliced American cheese (yellow or white)
8 slices good, thick country white bread
8 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature
Tomato Soup, recipe follows, for serving
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 yellow onion, minced
2 carrots, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red chile flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 tablespoons dry sherry
Two 28-ounce cans whole San Marzano tomatoes
2 bay leaves
1 cup chicken or vegetable stock
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-low heat. Place 5 slices* of cheese in between two slices of bread (two on each side and one in the middle). Spread about 1 tablespoon butter on each exterior side of the bread. Remember, crust-to-crust is a must. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Place the first side in the pan (cooking in batches if necessary) and "dome" with an inverted large metal bowl or pan lid to create the proper vortex of heat. Cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and continue to cook until the cheese is gooey and bread is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes more.
  • Cut, slowly separate and watch as the cascade of gooey good ol' American cheese catches the sunlight streaming through the kitchen window and throws a glow of warm orange light throughout your entire house. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches. Serve with the Tomato Soup.
  • *I know this sounds excessive, but it ensures the most possible ooey-gooeyness. If you're watching the intake, you can scale back to 3 slices.
  • Heat a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat. Add the butter, onions, carrots, celery, chile flakes and a couple pinches of salt and pepper. Sauté until translucent, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for an additional minute. Deglaze with the sherry while scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the tomatoes, bay leaves and stock. Simmer until everything is cooked through and very tender, about 1 hour.
  • Discard the bay leaves and blend the soup until completely smooth and uniform in texture using an immersion blender. Add the heavy cream and adjust the seasoning. Serve!

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.

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.
