Classic Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup

20 min total serves 2 4 steps

The comfort food combo. Crunchy buttered bread and a warm tomato dunk.

Dummy-proof tip

Butter the outside of the bread, not the pan. That's how you get an even golden crust.

The steps, in plain English

  1. 1

    Start the soup

    Cook the chopped onion in a little butter until soft, then add the tomatoes and a splash of water.

    Build the sandwich

    Butter the outside of each slice, put the cheese in the middle.

    Cook on medium in a dry pan, pressing gently, until both sides are deep golden and the cheese is molten.

The no-judgement kitchen. Every recipe assumes you've burnt toast before — and that's fine.
