There's nothing quite like a hot bowl of tomato soup and a crispy grilled cheese sandwich on a chilly day. This recipe combines the classic comfort foods in a delicious and easy-to-make dish that will leave you feeling warm and satisfied.

Ingredients:

Tomato Soup:

• 10 Roma tomatoes

• 1 Spanish or sweet onion

• 1 head of garlic

• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

• 1/4 cup fresh basil

• 1/4 cup dairy-free cream

• 2 tbsp marsala wine (optional)

• 2 cups chicken broth

• 1.5 cups of water

• 1 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp cracked pepper

Grilled Cheese:

• Sliced bread

• Gruyere Cheese (or whatever you like)

• Parsley

• Salt

• Pepper

• Garlic powder

• 1/2 stick of butter

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.

2. Cut the tomatoes in half and place them on a baking sheet or deep dish pan.

3. Slice the onion into wedges and add them to the baking sheet.

4. Remove the outer layer of skin from the head of garlic, leaving the cloves intact. Cut off the top of the head to expose the cloves and place it on the baking sheet.

5. Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

6. Roast for 40 minutes until the tomatoes are soft and slightly charred. Remove from the oven and let cool.

7. Once cooled, squeeze out garlic into a blender and add the tomatoes and onions with the juices.

8. In a blender, combine the roasted vegetables with chicken broth, water, fresh basil, dairy-free cream, marsala wine, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.

9. Pour the soup into a pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Let it cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

10. While the soup is simmering, prepare the grilled cheese sandwiches. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat or keep the oven preheated to 400F.

11. Spread butter on each side of the bread.

12. Add the cheese, then the top piece of bread.

13. Sprinkle parsley, salt, pepper, and garlic powder on the ouside of both pieces of bread.

14. Place the grilled cheese on the pan or into the oven. Let it melt, making sure to flip and get each side crispy.

15. Serve tomato soup warm with the grilled cheese sandwiches on the side for dipping.
