The Ultimate Grilled Cheese Sandwich and Tomato Soup Recipe

Nothing more comforting then a homemade bowl of tomato soup with a delicious easy to make grilled cheese that comes together in under 30 minutes.
I can see my mom now. Popping a can of Campbells tomato soup and serving it up with some grilled cheese. Tomato soup, not so good. Grilled cheese? Great!
I wanted to give you the best of both worlds by making an insanely delicious homemade tomato soup recipe and then serving it alongside an insanely delicious grilled cheese twist
Ingredients for this recipe:
For the Tomato Soup:
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 peeled medium diced yellow onion
• 1 ½ tablespoons sugar
• 3 finely minced cloves of garlic
• 2 28-ounce cans san Marzano tomatoes in juice
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• ½ cup heavy whipped cream
• sea salt and pepper to taste
For the Grilled Cheese:
• 4 teaspoons unsalted butter
• 4 slices brioche bread
• 4 teaspoons fig jam
• 2 slices cheddar cheese
• 2 slices smoked gouda cheese
• 2 slices provolone cheese
• 2 slices prosciutto ham
Serves 8
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Procedures:
1. Tomato Soup: Add the butter to a large pot over medium-low heat until melted.
2. Add in the onions and cook for 5-6 minutes before adding in the sugar.
3. Mix and cook for a further 7-9 minutes until browned.
4. Add in the garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
5. Pour in the tomatoes and stew for 5-6 minutes and then add in the balsamic vinegar.
6. Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend on high until smooth.
7. Add the soup back to the pot over low heat and stir in cream, salt and pepper. Keep warm.
8. Grilled Cheese: Add the butter to a large grilled or frying pan over low heat until melted.
9. Add the brioche and cook for :90 to 2 minutes or until it is browned and toasted.
10. Flip the bread over and spread on the fig jam to two slices of bread.
11. Next, layer on 1 slice of cheddar, 1 slice of gouda, 1 slice of provolone and 1 slice of prosciutto over top of the fig jam. Repeat onto the other piece of bread with fig jam. cook for :90 to 2 minutes or until it is browned and toasted.
12. Add the bread with nothing on it to the tops of the cheese and prosciutto.
13. Slice and serve.
CHEF NOTES:
Once you smell the garlic in the tomato soup, it’s done.
If blending the soup in a blender be sure to remove the center cap of the lid from the blender.
Remember, soup gets better with time so it will most likely be even better the next day.

Just made a big pot of this soup today prior to the snow storm that we didn’t really get today. Turned out Mmmmm.......Good!

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Great idea, stay warm!

I bought this as my first propane grill. It's been a fun, learning experience kzbin.infoUgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-ojFrY8JLnZrFwAmvUt . I think it's a bit too pricey after looking at other grills, but it wasn't hard to put together and it works really well. I love the side burner option for heating food during a power outage. I have an electric stove and live in the South (Hurricane season), so this was a bonus. I also bought a cover for it and it has protected it nicely (the Char Broil All-Season Grill Cover 3-4 Burner: Large). Every few grill sessions, I take the rack (or grate) and burner covers off and clean them with a non-abrasive scrubby and mild soap. I wipe the excess off of the bottom as well, taking care to avoid the gas and pilot lines.

absolutly fantastic...THANK YOU!!!

[@captainnathan1651]

I can’t wait to make both recipes. Tomato soup is supposed to be rich and creamy and you just ain’t getting that out of a can. And adding the prosciutto to the grilled cheese was a brilliant touch. Wow, I love your channel!

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Yes! Thanks for watching

[@truthfinder6246]

I LOVE that you added balsamic and cream. My topper is chopped scallions and micro greens. That sammy.is awesomeness. Love your channel.

[@sandragonzalives5926]

The Tomato Basil Soup was simple and yummy. And, the grilled cheese, I made it with a different bread, used Provolone and Muenster cheese with fig jam and omg, it was just out of this world. My daughter even called me a chef. Lol... i made it the second day for my sister and she just fell in love. Thank you, Chef Billy.😋✝️

I was looking for a recipe online today for this and when I saw you had one, I stopped looking instantly. Using so many recipes from your channel and website I know this will be kick ass. Will edit my comment after I finish making it tonight.

Used the tomato soup recipe today and it is 🔥🔥🔥 for sure. I got my own less gourmet grilled cheese recipe but soup is very similar to one I got at Disneyland.

[@firebrand23foodtv74]

Wow....beyond "Souper"!!!!!!!!! Well done, chef!!!

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Thanks my friend!

[@amberjones9520]

I just made tomato soup myself. I wish i would of had fresh basil but had to do dried instead. I really wanted sweet basil but didnt have that either. I also added a little italian seasoning bc it has rosemary and thyme to make up for the dried basil lol. I also grated some fresh aged asiago cheese and added a pinch of sugar to counteract the acidity in the tomatoes. Your soup and sandwich looked amazing. Great job !!!!

[@bethmiller4266]

Balsamic is pretty awesome as an add on 👍 - love it, Billy

[@oceanbaby4521]

Ok That tomato soup was beautiful, but that SANDWICH!... Yeah that! I'm making that TODAY!!! Mmmmmmm Jam! Thanks for coming thru for lunch Billy Cheers! 😋👩🏽‍🍳🍷♥️

Billy, this looks so good! Can not wait to give this a try. My husband thinks he hates tomato soup. I think that when he tries this, he will see that he has simply never tasted tomato soup before.

[@emeraldaize]

simple recipe, check good lighting, check perfect instructions, check recipe in the descriptions so we don't have to scroll down to another website which sometimes can be annoying, check and last but not least, the most Importantly, SUBTITLES, check! How am I just finding this channel now?!

Hello @Chef Billy Parisi is it also possible to cook the soup without the cream but add it as an option when served?

What about adding some sherry

How would you like tomato soup to look?

[@ruchirtondon2482]

@@ChefBillyParisi correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't soup comparatively more watery?

[@ChefBillyParisi]

@@ruchirtondon2482 Not sure by what standard that applies to? This is a creamy tomato soup. Even so just by pureeing up fresh tomatoes your soup will be thicker. The only thing that will render a "watery" soup is simply anything using a broth or stock as a base.

[@ruchirtondon2482]

@@ChefBillyParisi probably because most recipe videos I've watched use it broth or chicken stock.

[@ChefBillyParisi]

@@ruchirtondon2482 I mean you can do that, but I like thick creamy soups, especially if they're creamed.
