Use olive oil instead of butter for the soup, full-fat coconut milk or a cashew cream instead of heavy cream, and your favorite brand of vegan cheese and butter for the sandwich.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes along with the garlic in the soup for a gentle heat.
Add a splash of dry white wine to the pot after cooking the onions and let it reduce before adding tomatoes. Use a mix of Gruyère and white cheddar for the sandwich.
Add a sprig of fresh thyme or rosemary to the soup while it simmers for a more complex, earthy flavor. Remove the sprig before blending.
Cooked tomatoes are an excellent source of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant linked to a reduced risk of certain chronic diseases and improved skin health.
The cheese and heavy cream provide a good amount of calcium, which is essential for strong bones and teeth, as well as proper muscle and nerve function.
As a classic comfort food, this meal can have a positive psychological effect, reducing stress and promoting a sense of well-being. The combination of carbs, fat, and protein also leads to a high level of satiety, keeping you full and satisfied.
A single serving of this recipe contains approximately 750-850 calories, depending on the specific type of bread, cheese, and amount of butter used. It's a hearty and satisfying meal.
While it's a high-calorie comfort food, it does offer some nutritional benefits. The tomato soup is rich in lycopene, an antioxidant. To make it healthier, you can use whole wheat bread, reduce the amount of cheese and butter, and skip the heavy cream in the soup.
Absolutely! The soup's flavor actually improves after a day in the refrigerator. You can store it in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat it gently on the stove before serving.
The best cheese is a matter of preference, but a good melting cheese is key. Sharp cheddar provides great flavor, while American cheese offers the ultimate meltiness. Provolone, Gruyère, and Monterey Jack are also excellent choices, either alone or in combination.
The secret is low and slow cooking. Use medium-low heat. This allows the heat to penetrate the bread and melt the cheese thoroughly without burning the exterior. Covering the pan with a lid for the first couple of minutes can also help trap heat and speed up melting.
