Tomato Soup & Bacon Grilled Cheese - SOUPer Bowl Sunday #4 - Easy Comfort Food-- Gourmet Sandwich

Homemade Tomato Soup
1 large onion, diced
4 Tablespoons butter
3 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
15 ounce can tomato sauce
2 quarts (64 ounces) tomato juice
3 Tablespoons sugar
2 Tablespoons chicken flavored base
1 - 2 cups heavy cream
1 Tablespoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
pepper to taste
In a large stock pot or a Dutch Oven over medium heat, add the butter and onions. Sauté until the onions are translucent and soft. Add the garlic and flour, stirring and cooking for 1 minute to form a roux.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato juice, sugar, and chicken flavored base (or 3 bouillon cubes). Add the basil, salt, and pepper. Stir in as much heavy cream as you'd like (I use about 1 to 1 1/2 cups). Heat to a simmer for one to two minutes to slightly thicken the soup.
If desired, blend with an immersion blender (or in a blender or food processor). Remove from the heat and serve hot.
Bacon Grilled Cheese
Thick-sliced white bread
butter
Muenster Cheese
American Cheese
bacon, diced and fried
Butter the outside of two slices of bread. Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in a skillet. Top the piece of bread with two slices of Muenster Cheese, a generous helping of crumbled bacon, two slices of American Cheese, and the second slice of bread with the buttered side up. Grill, covered, over medium heat until the bottom is golden brown, flip the sandwich and grill the second side until golden brown.

Grill cheese dipped in tomato soup is delicious

[@marjoriesmith4839]

A suggestion in our newspaper to use a thin layer of mayo instead of butter on bread for grilled cheese, has made us happy we took the suggestion, no greasy bread and beautifully browned.

[@comesitatmytable9044]

Yes, that's another option. It works well. We hope you get to enjoy this soup and we appreciate that you are watching our channel.

[@ginabarbee1404]

Some use mayo for grilled cheese , but not in my home . A thin layer of butter works wonderfully . Not soggy , not greasy , just right . Different strokes , you know .

[@judyloveland6544]

I love watching you and your wife in the kitchen. If you don’t have a lid for a pan you can always use heavy duty foil. I make homemade tomato soup, I use stewed tomatoes that I can. I also use celery for flavor. Thanks for all the recipes you have given me. Judy

Tom when you want to cook on the right burner, turn on one of the other burners don’t completely turn it on you want to hear the clicking sound, then trying turn on the right hand burner (the one that is being finicky) this should work.

What I love in Grilled cheese is sliced tomato and sliced dill pickles. Don't grill them inside. Get the cheese really gooey, pull the sandwich apart, and put the veggies inside. Reassemble, and enjoy! The sweet amd tart 🪮 nation cuts the unctuous fattiness of the cheese, and brings moisture to the sandwich.

I make a Tomato Florentine Soup. Easy, saute onion, minced garlic in butter. When onions are translucent, I add just a few crushed red pepper flakes. I pour a large can of crushed tomatoes and 2 lg. Cans of tomato sauce, and 1 small of tomato Can of tomato paste in. Add 2 cups of chicken broth, may need another half cup if your soup isn't the consistency you prefer. Cook on a medium heat, stirring. Make a slurry with cornstarch and cold water, as a thickener. Add frozen spinach that has thawed. Continue cooking on a med heat should be a slow rolling boil. Turn temp down to low and add either half & half or heavy whipping cream. * I have added small shell pasta before. It a hearty easy soup.

[@bowed305]

I used to be the exact opposite. Loved raw tomatoes, but I wouldn't eat a cooked one - no tomato soup, no tomato juice, no chunks of cooked tomatoes in my food. That's changed now. Still love raw tomatoes, and not a big fan of tomato juice, but put all the cooked tomatoes in my food that you want. In fact, the chunkier the tomato pieces in the food the better I like it. No idea why.

I made this last week. It is so good! Before adding cream I put soup in blender to blend well. Then back on the stove for heavy cream and a short simmer. We eat grilled cheese with ours too. However, we put paper thin slices of onion between cheddar to make on griddle. Also, we dip our sandwiches in the soup. So good. I purée soup until no tomato bits because for guests at a dinner party or cocktail party, I serve the soup in demitasse cups and saucers before going to the table for an appetizer. So pretty and makes guests feel special. But I will be using your recipe from now on.

[@nicelady51]

The words you were looking for were 'food processor ', I believe. Also, when explaining what a roux is, the most important thing is that it's EQUAL AMOUNTS OF FLOUR AND FAT, generally butter. Depending on what and how much you are making, starting with 3-4 tablespoons of each is good. While stirring, slowly incorporating your liquid, be it milk or stock. This will thicken 3-5 cups of liquid. Love your channel ❤

I’m a Campbell’s soup girl. Always have been but I make homemade soups because it goes further. I will definitely make this recipe. I bet your friends are loving you. Hope you’re enjoying your time in Florida. My sister lives In Sebastian. She loves it there. Great video! 🙏🏻

Thank you so much for the encouraging comment. We are happy to read that you are going to try it out. We are loving our snowbird winter escape. We are NOT fans of snow or cold weather.

It looks delicious! I make a very similar recipe. If you brought a pizza pan with you, you can use it for a lid for your skillet. I have a really large cast iron skillet with no lid and use a pizza pan on it all the time. Have a great day!

The pizza pan is a great idea. The sandwich might have been taller than the skillet in this case and then the pizza pan might have rubbed off the butter for the flip side of the sandwich. But the concept is a great one. Covering it with a lid does make it melt better. Thanks so much for watching and we hope your week is off to an excellent start.
