Tomato Soup & Grilled Cheese Roll Ups

Tomato Soup
4 tbsp. butter, divided
1 onion, finely diced
1 Garlic clove, minced
28 oz. crushed tomatoes
3 c. chicken (or vegetable) stock

1 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
1/4 c. heavy cream

Fresh basil, for serving

Grilled Cheese Roll Ups
8 slices white bread, crusts removed
8 slices cheddar cheese

Make soup. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion cook until beginning to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, stock, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil and simmer 15 minutes. Stir in cream, then ladle into bowls. Garnish with fresh basil.

While the soup is simmering, make the grilled cheese roll-ups. Using a rolling pin, roll bread into flat, 1/4-inch thick squares. Place a cheese slice on each slice of bread and roll up tightly.

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add the roll ups to the skillet, seam side-down. Cook, turning often, until all sides are golden and the cheese has melted, about 3 minutes. Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel and add more butter before adding more roll-ups.

Ladle soup into bowls and serve with grilled cheese roll-ups.
