Grilled cheese and tomato soup is a tried-and-true classic! This is our take on the ever-popular combo, but with a twist!

Ingredients

Makes 4 servings 1x 2x 4x

2 slices white bread
2 slices sharp cheddar cheese
2 slices mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 (24.5 ounce) jar Family Recipes Marinara Sauce
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups vegetable stock
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Sandwich the cheese slices between 2 slices of bread and spread the unsalted butter all over both sides of the bread.
Heat a medium skillet over medium high heat and once hot add the sandwich and cook until golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Allow the grilled cheese to cool to room temperature and cut into ½ inch squares. Set aside.
To a blender, add the Family Recipes Marinara Sauce, heavy cream and vegetable stock and puree until smooth. Transfer to a medium sauce pot and simmer until the soup is warmed through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Ladle the soup amongst 4 bowls and top with a handful of the grilled cheese croutons.
Enjoy!
