Grilled Cheese Tomato Soup Dumplings Recipes

EASY TOMATO SOUP WITH GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°c.
• Place the tomatoes (if using canned tomatoes, add all the juices as well) in a roasting tray and add the Balsamic, olive oil, sugar and salt. Stir to combine and place in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the tomatoes are broken down and have started to caramelize.
• In a large pot, sauté the onions in some olive oil until they are translucent and fragrant. Add the garlic and basil and fry for another minute.
• Add the roasted tomatoes, tomato paste and sugar. Stir to combine all the ingredients and pour in the stock.
• Lower the heat and cover the pot. Allow to simmer for 10 minutes.
• Remove the pot from the heat and blend the soup.
• Add the cream and season to taste.
• To make the grilled cheese sandwiches, mix the mozzarella with the cheddar. Add ½ cup cheese to half of the slices of bread. Sandwich with the remaining bread. Butter both sides generously.
• Cook in a non-stick pan, over medium heat until the cheese is melted and the sandwiches are golden brown on both sides.
• Serve the tomato soup with a swirl of cream and fresh basil leaves with the grilled cheese.

TOMATO SOUP WITH GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• For the tomato soup: Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and add the oil. When hot, add the onion and a large pinch of salt and cook until starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Mix in the tomatoes and chicken stock. Add the cream, hot sauce and oregano if using and bring to a simmer. Simmer until thickened and the flavors come together, 20 to 30 minutes. Taste and season with additional salt if needed. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a blender and puree until smooth.
• For the grilled cheese: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
• Spread the mayonnaise or melted butter on one side of each slice of bread. Sprinkle the Parmesan over the mayonnaise or butter. Flip the slices and put 4 pieces of Cheddar on 4 of the bread slices. Spread the other bread slices with mustard, if using, and close the slices together to form sandwiches (the mayonnaise and Parmesan should be on the outside).
• Working in batches if necessary, transfer the sandwiches to the skillet and cook until browned and toasted, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Slice and serve with the tomato soup.

GRILLED CHEESE-TOMATO SOUP DUMPLINGS RECIPE RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Fill molds of an ice cube tray with soup (do not add water or milk). You should have enough soup to fill 8 molds. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight. Cut each cube into 4 pieces. Wrap each piece in half a slice of cheese. Wrap a slice of bread around the cheese and drizzle 1 tablespoon of milk on the bread to get it moist enough to bind into a ball. Make sure there are no open seams. Heat oil to 325℉ in a deep fryer or a deep, heavy-bottomed pot fitted with an oil thermometer. Fry dumplings in batches until golden brown, 5-6 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Eat with caution, not only because they're hot, but because someone's going to fight you for that last one.

CREAMY FRESH TOMATO SOUP WITH DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a 2 quart sauce pan over medium high heat.
• Add onions and garlic and sauté until tender, then add tomatoes, and mush them up a bit, and stir.
• Cook over medium heat about 10-15 minutes, until tomatoes are quite soft and breaking down.
• Add water, basil, bouillon cubes, salt and pepper, and sugar.
• Bring to boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer about 20 minutes.
• Near the end of the cooking time, heat half and half or milk so that it is hot.
• Add hot milk to soup and stir.
• Pureé with an arm blender, or do it in batches in a blender.
• Strain soup through a sieve or run it through a food mill to eliminate any peels and seeds that remain.
• Mix egg with about 1/4 cup flour (amount will depend on how firm you like your dumplings) and salt and pepper to taste, until well combined.
• Bring soup to just below boiling and drop in dumplings by very small spoonfuls. Cook about three minutes, or until dumplings float to the surface. Dumplings should be almost like spaetzle, quite small, and soft when cooked.
• Serve hot with chopped fresh basil or toasted croutons as a garnish if desired.

QUICK TOMATO SOUP WITH GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Make the soup: Dump the canned tomatoes and their juices into a medium pot and using your hands, tear into coarse chunks. Swish the broth in the empty tomato can and add to the pot.
• Stir in the onion, butter, oregano and sugar and season generously with salt and pepper. Turn the heat to high and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and continue simmering, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender and the tomatoes have broken down, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the sandwiches: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread and evenly sprinkle the cheese and a little oregano on the mayonnaise side of 4 slices. Top with the cheeseless slices, mayonnaise-side down.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium. Add the sandwiches and cook until golden brown on the bottoms, 2 to 3 minutes. Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in the pan, then flip the sandwiches with a spatula, move them around to coat with the butter and cook until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn heat to lowest setting to keep sandwiches warm.
• Carefully purée the tomato soup using a blender until smooth and creamy, adding more broth if needed to loosen to your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the grilled cheeses to a cutting board and cut each in half diagonally. Serve alongside the soup.
