Grilled Cheese with Tomato Soup and Fresh Basil Recipe
A cozy vegan grilled cheese paired with creamy tomato-basil soup — simple, satisfying, and soul-warming comfort food perfection.
Ingredients
Method
For the Tomato Soup:
- Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté until soft and fragrant.
- Add tomatoes, tomato puree, and broth. Let it simmer for 10–12 minutes until the tomatoes break down.
- Stir in coconut milk, salt, pepper, and basil.
- Blend the soup until smooth (optional, but makes it restaurant-level creamy).
- Return to heat, taste, and adjust seasoning. Keep warm.
For the Grilled Cheese:
- Spread vegan butter on one side of each bread slice.
- Sprinkle vegan cheddar, mozzarella, and a touch of garlic powder between two slices, butter side out.
- Heat skillet over medium flame. Grill each sandwich until golden brown and melty on both sides.
- Cut diagonally (because it tastes better that way).
- Serve hot with a steaming bowl of tomato-basil soup. Dip, bite, repeat.
