Tomato soup with grilled cheese was just a perfect flavor. I loved the texture of grilled cheese in this chicken stock-based soup and I’m committed using it in my future recipes. You can turn grilled cheese sandwiches into croutons for the tomato soup and prepare it in a slow cooker. Learn how to make it:
Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese in Slow Cooker
makes 6 servings
Ingredients: 2 cans (28 oz (840 ml) each) roasted crushed tomatoes, undrained, 1½ cups (375 ml) vegetable broth, 1 medium yellow onion, peeled and finely diced, 3 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) each: salt and freshly ground black pepper, 1 cup (250 ml) heavy whipped cream, 1/3 cup (80 ml) finely chopped fresh basil, For Croutons: 4 slices Italian white bread, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) unsalted butter, softened, 4 tablespoons (60 ml) grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 pound (120 g) sliced Cheddar cheese
Instructions: Grease a 4-quart (4 L) slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. In the greased pot, combine undrained tomatoes, vegetable broth, onion, garlic, sugar, and seasoning. Mix well.
Cover the cooker and cook on high-heat setting for 3 hours or on low for 6 hours. Open the lid and stir in whipped cream, then cover again and cook for a further 15 minutes. Stir in chopped fresh basil.
Meanwhile, spread one side of each Italian bread slice with softened unsalted butter. Top each buttered side with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of grated Parmesan cheese, then press gently to adhere cheese to the bread.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place 2 bread slices, buttered side down, into the hot skillet and top each with half of sliced Cheddar cheese. Place remaining 2 bread slices, buttered side up, on top of Cheddar cheese.
Cook, uncovered, for 5-7 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and cheese melted. Remove grilled sandwiches from the skillet and set aside. Allow cooling for 5 minutes. Cut each sandwich into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes. Serve with tomato soup. Enjoy!
