Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup

We all know that grilled cheese and tomato soup is a must when the weather cools off. As adults, our palettes are a little more refined so I’ve found a way to make a childhood fav a little more grown up… don’t worry, the kids will still love it!

Grilled Cheese:

  • Sourdough Bread

  • Camembert or Brie Cheese

  • Sharp Cheddar

  • Fresh Thyme

  • Cracked Pepper

Tomato Soup:

  • A box of your favorite tomato soup

  • Sundried Tomatoes

  • Goat Cheese - crumbled

  • Cracked Pepper

  • Fresh Basil

Spread mayo and butter on each side of your bread, I used homemade sourdough, add thinly sliced pieces of your cheese - one cheese per side and cook over a low heat to ensure the cheese is fully melted. I like to throw my thyme and pepper directly into the middle of the sandwich as it cooks for the same reason that I pepper my ketchup when eating fries instead of peppering the fries themselves. Once the bread is browned to your liking, remove and slice. **If homemade sourdough is not available - try something from the local bakery or the bakery section of your grocery store, I promise it makes a huge difference in the overall taste of the sandwich.

Warm the soup however you prefer, throw the sundried tomatoes in, crack some pepper and throw the goat cheese crumbles and basil on top.

Voila! An elevated classic that you’ll have on repeat all winter long.
