Ingredients:

  •  kg Tomatoes Use ripe, seasonal tomatoes or replace with whole canned tomatoes.
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 red onions finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • ½ cup fresh basil leaves I don't bother chopping the basil as the leaves will be blended.
  • 2 tsp tomato paste
  • 8 cups vegetable / chicken stock
  • ½ cup cream
  • Salt & black pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil to serve

For the Grilled Cheese:

  • 2 slices bread per person
  • 2 cups grated mozzarella
  • 2 cups grated mature cheddar
  • butter

 

Recipe:

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C/390°F. Place the tomatoes in a roasting tray (include juices if using canned tomatoes), and mix in balsamic vinegar, olive oil, sugar, and salt. Roast for 25-30 minutes until the tomatoes soften and caramelize.

2. In a large pot, sauté onions in olive oil until translucent and fragrant. Add garlic and basil, cooking for an additional minute. Stir in the roasted tomatoes, tomato paste, and sugar, then pour in the stock. Lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 10 minutes.

3. Remove the pot from heat and blend the soup until smooth. Stir in the cream and season to taste.

4. For the grilled cheese sandwiches, combine mozzarella and cheddar. Add ½ cup of cheese to half the bread slices, then top with the remaining bread. Generously butter both sides. Cook in a non-stick pan over medium heat until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.

5. Serve the tomato soup with a swirl of cream and fresh basil, alongside the grilled cheese sandwiches.
