The best way to make grilled cheese & tomato Soup

Grilled cheese and tomato soup are the perfect combo for a cozy dinner. This dish brings back so many good memories, offering comfort and a bit of homey feeling. When it's rainy and cold outside, I always find myself craving for grilled cheese and tomato soup.
Recipe:
Servings: Approximately 2
Ingredients:
For the Tomato Soup:
3 cups tomatoes, quartered
6 cloves garlic
1 large yellow onion, quartered
2 shallots, halved
1 red bell pepper, halved
1 teaspoon chili flakes
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning blend
⅓ cup fresh basil leaves
¾ cup vegetable broth
1 oz. vodka
¾ cup heavy cream
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 tablespoons olive oil
For the Sandwich:
4 slices of your choice of bread
2 slices Monterey Jack cheese
2 slices Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
For Topping the Soup:
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (for extra heat)
A drizzle of olive oil
Instructions:
Make the Soup:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a baking dish, combine the tomatoes, garlic cloves, onion, shallots, red bell pepper, a pinch of salt, chili flakes, and olive oil. Toss to mix.
2. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.
3. Transfer the roasted vegetables to a pot over medium-high heat. Season with ground black pepper and Italian seasoning. Use a hand blender to puree the mixture until smooth. Add the basil leaves and continue blending.
4. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
5. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer the soup for about 10 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly, stirring often.
Make the Sandwich:
1. Assemble the cheese slices between two slices of bread.
2. Spread butter on the outside of each sandwich.
3. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the sandwich until the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook until the other side is golden and the cheese has melted.
4. In a small bowl, mix olive oil with chopped parsley. Spread this mixture over the top of the grilled sandwich.
Serve:
1. Ladle the soup into bowls. Drizzle with heavy cream and olive oil, then sprinkle with chopped parsley and red pepper flakes for extra heat.
2. Serve the grilled cheese sandwich on the side.
Enjoy!

[@bossman674]

Really really good, but very wasteful with prep

[@josemanuel7249]

Bread is too thick. Cheeses are in super low quantity, and not high end. Soup requires a bit more of a thicker texture and to look homogeneous.

[@drissadrao]

Make your own videos then and let him be….

[@MrBrookcantdance]

Food looks good. But you waste a lot of food in your preparation.

[@Ask571986]

How? I did not see any waste?? He didn’t use all of the head of garlic and he didn’t use all the bell pepper, but he certainly didn’t throw any of it away, that we can see?

[@DVB1848]

I didn’t see any waste. Remaining pepper might be for something else.

[@avani_belle]

Wasted what? The pepper stalk and the onion skin!! Get a life

[@Ask571986]

@@avani_belle lol, even then maybe he saved it for a soup stock. Chances are MrBrook brushes his teeth with the water on full blast🤣

[@avani_belle]

@Ask571986 🤣 your comment really made me laugh. I guess some people just can't help nitpicking. It's pathetic huh?

[@bigwig9372]

Ok..not the best… it good

[@johnsimpson5406]

Needs narration or captions to confirm ingredients, times and procedures. Visually nice but still wanting for narration!!!!!! In the future do a BETTER JOB!!!!!!! LOOKED LIKE IT SHOULD TASTE GOOD, BUT I HAVE HAD BETTER!!!! WORK ON YOUR RECIPE!!!!!!

[@DVB1848]

Why are you shouting using capital letters? It is rude!
