Ingredients
Copy Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, diced
5 cloves minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (28 ounce) can
Tuttorosso® Peeled Plum Tomatoes
1 (14.5 ounce) can
Tuttorosso® Diced Tomatoes Basil, Garlic & Oregano
3 cups chicken stock
1/3 cup half & half
1 1/2 tablespoons basil leaves, fresh, roughly chopped
10 slices sourdough bread
1 package sliced cheddar cheese, white
1 cup shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese blend
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
butter, salted
Instructions
For the Tomato Soup
Add olive oil, onion, garlic, dried basil, dried oregano, salt and pepper to a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sauté until translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Add the Tuttorosso Peeled Plum Tomatoes, Tuttorosso Diced Tomatoes Basil, Garlic & Oregano, and chicken stock. Combine and bring to a boil. Cover, turn heat to medium low, and let simmer for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, reduce the heat to low and use an immersion blender to blend the soup into a smooth, thick consistency. (Note: If you do not have an immersion blender, you could allow the soup to cool and blend in a classic blender.)
To the blended soup, add the half & half and fresh basil. Keep warm on low heat while you prepare the grilled cheese sandwiches.
For the Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
To 5 slices of bread, add the white cheddar cheese, cheddar jack cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Use however much you'd like of each, then top with the remaining 5 bread slices. Start by adding 1 tablespoon of butter to a large pan on the stove over low heat. Melt completely and add the sandwiches. (Note: The amount of sandwiches will depend on the size of your pan.)
Cook the sandwiches on one side until browned to your liking, approximately 3 minutes per side or until browned to your liking. Add more butter as needed. (Note: The key is to cook low and slow so that the cheese melts and the bread browns, without burning.)
Remove sandwiches from heat and serve alongside tomato soup.
