Ingredients

Tomato Soup

  • 4 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 (14-ounce) cans diced tomatoes drained, but reserve the liquid
  • ½ teaspoon thyme dried
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons basil puree or fresh chopped basil
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup reserved tomato liquid from the can
  • cup heavy whipping cream
  • garlic salt and pepper to taste
  • croutons
  • Parmesan Cheese optional

Grilled Cheese

  • bread
  • provolone cheese
  • cheddar cheese
  • butter

Instructions

Tomato Soup

  • Saute the garlic in a large pot over medium heat until fragrant.
  • Add the tomatoes, basil, thyme and onion powder to the pot. (not the tomato liquid). Stir and cook for 10 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the chicken broth and the tomato liquid. Stir and allow to cook, uncovered, for 35-40 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  • Add garlic salt and pepper to taste. Working in small batches add the soup to a blender. Blend the chunky mixture until it is smooth and creamy. Pour into a large serving bowl. Repeat with the remaining soup until it has all been blended and added to a serving bowl.
  • Stir the heavy cream into the blended mixture. Mix until well combined.
  • Taste, if needed, and add more garlic salt and pepper. Garnish with croutons, basil and Parmesan Cheese.

Grilled Cheese

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Butter one side of two slices of bread (or spread with mayo) and lay one slice butter side down on the skillet. Add 1 slice cheddar and 1 slice provolone cheese to bread, then top with the other piece of bread, butter side up. Cook until golden brown on both sides and the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes per side.
