Method
 

Tomato Soup
  1. Roast the tomatoes, onion, and garlic at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes until softened and slightly charred. Blend the roasted vegetables with vegetable broth and fresh basil until smooth.
  2. Simmer the blended soup in a pot for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Grilled Cheese
  1. Assemble the sandwiches with cheese between two slices of bread. Butter the outside of the bread.
Combine
  1. Cook the sandwiches in a non-stick pan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Serve the grilled cheese alongside the hot tomato soup.

Notes

For an extra creamy soup, add a splash of heavy cream or coconut milk during the simmering stage. Experiment with different cheeses for your grilled cheese to find your favorite combination.
