Ingredients (Serves 4) 🧾

For the Tomato Soup:

500g (1 lb) cherry tomatoes (or Roma tomatoes)
1 onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, deseeded & chopped
1 whole garlic bulb (top sliced off)
2 tbsp olive oil (+ extra for garnish)
½ tsp chili flakes (optional)
1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
½ tsp black pepper
100ml (⅓ cup) water
100ml (⅓ cup) heavy cream
5 fresh basil leaves
Fresh parsley (to garnish)

For the Grilled Cheese:

8 slices bread (sourdough or whole grain)
8 slices cheddar cheese (or Gouda/Mozzarella)
2 tbsp butter (softened)

Step-by-Step Instructions 👩🍳

1. Roast the Veggies

Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
Toss tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, garlic bulb, chili flakes, salt, and pepper with olive oil on a baking tray.
Roast 25-30 mins until caramelized and tender.

2. Blend the Soup

Squeeze roasted garlic cloves into a blender. Add veggies, water, and basil. Blend until smooth.
Pour into a pot, stir in cream, and simmer 5 mins on low heat.

3. Assemble the Grilled Cheese

Butter one side of each bread slice. Layer cheese between unbuttered sides.
Cook in a skillet over medium heat 3-4 mins per side until golden and melty.

4. Serve & Garnish

Ladle soup into bowls. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle parsley, and add extra chili flakes.
Slice sandwiches diagonally (maximize cheese pull!) and serve warm.
