Roasted tomato basil soup with grilled cheese is one of my comfort foods. So I just had to make it a couple of days ago when the weather turned cold and rainy.
I found some bread from Sami’s Bakery that doesn’t have yeast in it so I enjoyed a grilled cheese sandwich for the first time in several years. Mmm, was it good… all toasty and filled with yummy melted sheep cheese.
If you like tomato basil soup with grilled cheese this is a great recipe to try.
Roasted Tomato Basil Soup with Grilled Cheese
The fire roasted tomatoes in this soup give and the tangy oozing sheep cheese in the grilled cheese give this comfort food an extra special touch.
