Ingredients: 1 medium onion, chopped; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes (or 2 14-ounce cans); About 8 whole tomatoes peeled (I used from a jar!); 1 cup full-fat coconut milk (or use any milk but this makes it creamier); Fresh or dried basil, sea salt, black pepper to taste; 2 large slices of bread of choice (I used sourdough and if slices are smaller you may want to use 4 slices!); 4-6 slices of non-dairy cheese (or whatever cheese you want – we also use regular cheddar!!); Vegan butter or ghee

Yield: Serves 2-3 1x

Instructions

Warm a large pot with some olive or avocado oil and add onion and garlic
Cook over medium/high heat for about 5 minutes, until onions start to golden a bit
Add in tomatoes, milk and spices and mix together and bring to a boil
Lower the soup to simmer for about 15 minutes then blend together with immersion blender (or you can add to an actual blender but be careful if it is too hot!)
While the soup is cooking – make grilled cheese by smearing each slice of bread with ghee or butter then heating a skillet on medium heat, place the buttered side of bread down on skillet then add desired amount of cheese with other slice of bread on top
Cook for about 3 minutes on each side then remove from heat and cut into smaller “croutons”
Add back to skillet and cook crisp all together over medium/low heat to get extra crunchy
Serve soup with grilled cheese croutons and enjoy!

Notes

*Store leftovers in fridge for 5 days. Grilled cheese definitely is best day of though! You can also freeze the soup for 2 months.
