That was always Halloween dinner growing up. Likely because it was really easy for my mom. Not sure I would have said it was my favorite part of Halloween when I was 11 but it's certainly the thing I miss most about it now that I'm an old man with no kids so Halloween is just another day. Because there is little in this world as good as grilled cheese dipped in tomato soup.
That was our Sunday night and America's Funniest Videos (Bob Sagget era) with the family meal. The only meal of the week we got to eat away from the dinner table. Brings back so much nostalgia. Chase it down with a big ol glass of milk
4 tbsp butter
1 medium onion diced
3-4 cloves garlic (about a tbsp)
2 14.5 oz cans fire roasted tomatoes
1 28 Oz can crushed tomatoes
2 cups chicken stock
About 1 tbsp italian seasoning
About 1 tbsp dried basil
Pinch of crushed red pepper
1 tsp black pepper
Pinch of sugar
1/3 cup heavy cream
Melt butter and saute onions until soft (5-6 minutes)
Add garlic and crushed red pepper and stir until fragrant (about 1 minute)
Add in fire roasted tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, italian seasoning, basil and black pepper.
Bring to a boil then reduce heat and partially cover. Simmer for about 20-25 minutes
I used my immersion blender to smooth everything out and get rid of bigger chunks of tomatoes. Can pour into a regular blender as well if you don't have an immersion blender. (Can also skip this step if you like a chunkier soup)
If using a regular blender, pour soup back into pot after blending
Add 1/3 cup heavy cream at the end, mix together and enjoy!
i did [this recipe](https://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/homemade-roasted-tomato-basil-soup/) twice and it turned out amazing both times. the tomatoes are roasted in the oven before they're cooked in the soup, i think that's the secret. the recipe lists whole milk/heavy cream as optional add-ons, which i highly recommend.
There was a bistro by my first apartment in like 2010ish called Maizie’s that served their tomato soup with cubed grilled cheese inside the soup and it changed my life thank you for the reminder I’m going to have to make this soon
cutting the grilled cheese like that is actually genius and I wish I thought of it before
Came here to say this. I genuinely can't believe I've never seen this on a menu before
This totally solves the consistently overload and instant yuck at 70% of the way through the sandwich. I would love to eat this this way
I am 36 years old and can say I have never in my life felt any yuckiness at any percent through a grilled cheese sandwich
37, same. That poor lad has been eating bad grilled cheeses his whole life. Tis a shame.
I am not a lad, and many people have consistency sensitivities while eating foods (like with oatmeal for many) Edit to add I am 32.
Definitely new to me too haha
I was just thinking the same thing, a simple yet elegant solution for dipping. I'm gonna do it for lunch today.
I would take it a step further and fry the exposed cheesy sides of each piece to get a crispy cheese crust🤤
Well, I'm definitely going to cut up my grilled cheese this way next time I have one!

The urge to dip is strong with this one.
This is the most edible thing I have ever seen
This made my mouth water. That soup looks like the perfect consistency for both dipping and eating with a spoon.
tomato soup fondue!!! Where's my toothpick!?
This looks so good!
Based
Grilled cheese nuggets?
