Take note
Be cautious when handling hot pans and when using sharp knives.

1

Prepare the tomato soup

In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 chopped onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 diced carrot. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in 2 cans of crushed tomatoes, 1 cup of vegetable broth, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of dried basil, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, salt, and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

2

Blend the tomato soup

Once the tomato soup has cooked and cooled slightly, carefully transfer it to a blender (in batches if necessary) and blend until smooth. Be cautious as hot liquid can create steam and build pressure in the blender. Pour the blended soup back into the pot and keep warm on low heat.

3

Assemble the grilled cheese

Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. Place a slice of your favorite cheese (such as cheddar, Swiss, or Gruyere) on the non-buttered side of one bread slice. Top with another slice of bread, buttered side facing up.

4

Grill the sandwich

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet and cook until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the sandwich and cook the other side until golden brown and the cheese has melted, another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

5

Serve and enjoy

Pour a generous serving of the tomato soup into a bowl. Cut the grilled cheese sandwich into halves or quarters, and serve alongside the soup. Dip the sandwich in the soup and savor every bite.
