It’s the end of another cold, rainy, dark winter day, and you’re in desperate need of a rich, hearty pick-me-up dish that’s also easy to make. What will you do? Well, just follow @rosetoasted’s awesome TikTok recipe for a winning duo of tomato soup and grilled cheese, duh.

What You’ll Need

This super simple recipe requires super simple ingredients! Equip your kitchen with fresh tomatoes, red bell peppers, garlic cloves, and white onions, as well as olive oil, salt, and pepper (if you’ve just started humming ״Push It,” that’s on you). For the grilled cheese, you’ll need two types of yellow cheese, some butter, and bread.

How You Make It

First, slice the aforementioned soup vegetables into large slices, as demonstrated in the video; and put them in the oven to soften and release some yummy juices. Then, throw them in a pot with some extra liquid (warm water or your go-to broth) and mix with a hand blender to get an even texture. Add cream for extra deliciousness, stir, and let it all chill (or rather, steam) in the pot together.

While your tomato soup is cooking, grate your yellow cheese of choice, spread some butter on the bread, pack it all up, and slide it in the toaster to melt. Once golden and crispy, slice it into smaller pieces and dip it in the soup for a taste bud blockbuster experience.
