If you love a comforting bowl of tomato soup, also try our bacon tomato soup, tomato lentil soup, and tomato carrot soup. Since there’s no better or more classic combo than tomato soup and grilled cheese, we had the genius idea to combine the two into one delicious recipe. The soup is rich and creamy and the easy-to-make grilled cheese croutons add the perfect crunchy texture. It’s a fun meal to serve to kids, but it’s a favorite recipe that everyone enjoys!
Olive oil – olive or avocado oil are our top choices for neutral flavored oils. Onion + garlic – for that classic savory flavor base. Tomato paste – gives a more intense tomato taste to tomato-based sauces, soups, and stews. We prefer to buy the tubes over the small cans because we can reseal them, which means less waste. Fire-roasted tomatoes – fire roasted tomatoes have a unique smoky and sweet flavor, but you can also use diced tomatoes if that’s what you have available. Chicken or vegetable stock – we use our homemade chicken stock but store-bought works well, too. Seasonings – we keep it simple with a mix of dried thyme, sea salt, and pepper. Sharp cheddar cheese – the sharp cheddar cheese gets blended right into the soup for a bold cheesy taste. We recommend decent-quality cheese because we’ve found that lower-quality ones don’t melt as well. If you find that the cheese doesn’t melt smoothly into the soup, just give it a quick blend to make it silky again. Whole milk or cream – for an extra-creamy taste and texture. Grilled cheese croutons and minced parsley – take this soup to the next level with our easy-to-make grilled cheese croutons! It also tastes great with our bacon croutons or mini soup croutons. Top it off with a bit of minced parsley, to serve.
For a heartier meal, try it with our sriracha apple grilled cheese, bacon sandwich with caramelized onions, or even our bacon kale caesar salad.
