In the end of July, my husband went out into the field for two weeks. I took advantage of this time and decided to make things that he hates, while he was gone. As a child, I never liked canned soup, but since I'm older and figured out that homemade soups are the bomb dot com - I've been wanting to test out a few of my least favorites. This tomato soup was so much better than the stuff in the can! I loved the croutons too!

What you need:
- 2 pints cherry tomatoes
- 1 1/2 tbsp. EVOO
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp. butter
- 3 to 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 14 oz. diced tomatoes
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/4 tsp. thyme
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 slices bread
- 3 slices American cheese
- Spreadable butter
On a foil-lined sheet, place tomatoes. Drizzle with EVOO and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Bake at 400* for 30 minutes.
Melt butter in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until transparent.
Then add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in diced tomatoes, roasted tomatoes, broth, and thyme.
Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer for 40 minutes.
Prepare one grilled cheese sandwich with bread, cheese, and butter.
Let cool slightly and cut into cubes.
Puree in a blender or food processor and return to pot.
Stir in heavy cream.
Serve topped with grilled cheese croutons.
