Ultimate Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup

While more traditional tomato soups are full of cream or take hours to simmer, ours is one that’s a breeze to throw together but satisfies all the same. Add a grilled cheese with more veggies or an egg for protein and dinner is served. Better yet, It's easy to scale it up for a crowd.

Ingredients

• Do Anything Savory Tomato Veggie Sauce

• 4 pieces thickly sliced bread

• 2 cups shredded cheese (we recommend a sharp cheddar or gruyere)

• Butter or mayonnaise 

• Option 1: Add greens (spinach, kale or basil) or sliced tomato for extra veggies
• Option 2: Go French and turn into a Croque by adding ham and topping with a sunny-side up egg
• Option 3: Add bacon, ham or even leftover shredded rotisserie chicken 

Instructions:

1. Preheat the over to 350ºF
2. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, add Do Anything Savory Tomato Veggie sauce and 2 to 3 tablespoons of water.
3. Sprinkle 4 slices of bread with evenly divided cheese and top with the remaining 4 slices of bread to form 4 sandwiches. Pressing down gently to set.
4. Spread sandwich tops with half of the butter or mayo, carefully flip the sandwich and spread the remaining butter or mayo on the other sides
5. Heat a large pan or griddle over medium-low heat until hot, about 4 to 5 minutes. Place 2 to 3 of the sandwiches in the pan and cook until the bottoms are golden brown and the cheese is starting to melt, about 5 minutes. Flip the sandwiches and cook until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is completely melted, about 5 minutes more.
6. Add cooked sandwiches to sheet pan in oven. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches. Let cool 1 to 2 minutes before cutting each sandwich in quarters.
7. Ladle warm soup into cup, and serve.
