RECIPE
——
TOMATO SOUP
▪2 28oz cans whole peeled tomato
▪1 medium red onion, chopped
▪30-40g or 8 cloves sliced garlic
▪50-60g or 4Tbsp (a very long squeeze) olive oil
▪15g or 2 1/2tsp salt
▪15g or 3 2/3tsp sugar
▪750g/mL or 3c chicken stock (+ additional 75g or so to thin soup if needed)
▪40g or 3Tbsp tomato paste
▪1 chipotle chili in adobo (optional)
▪Grated parm
▪Chives, minced
▪Additional olive oil (for garnish)
▪Pepper
Preheat oven to 450F/232C
Add canned tomatoes, onion, garlic, olive oil, salt, sugar, chicken stock, tomato paste, and chili in adobo to large baking dish or dutch oven. Stir ingredients to combine and roast in the oven for 1 hour, stirring halfway through.
After 60-75 minutes of roasting, remove from the oven, carefully ladle half of the “soup” into a blender, and blend on high until smooth (obviously this stuff will be hot so use caution) . Transfer to a fine mesh strainer over a sauce pot and force soup through to create a silky texture. Repeat with the second half of the unblended soup. If needed, add additional chicken stock to thin to desired consistency. Season to taste with salt. Hold soup over low heat to keep warm while you make the grilled cheese sandos.
Garnish with chives, olive oil, parm, and black pepper.
GRILLED CHEESE
▪125g or 1 stick butter
▪75g or 1/4c + 1 heaping Tbsp mayo
▪15g or 1Tbsp dijon
▪Basic hearty white bread (recipe here: BLT video: @ocBM)
▪Cheeses: american, gruyere, provolone
Add butter, mayo, and dijon to food processor. Process until smooth. Set aside.
Preheat nonstick pan over medium low heat.
Liberally spread butter/mayo/mustard mixture over one side of two slices of bread. Flip to non buttered side and layer down cheeses – slice american, slices gruyere, slice provolone, and another slice of american. Place in skillet,pressing down with spatula for about 30 seconds. Cook for additional 90 seconds or until side one reaches desired amount of brown. Flip to the second side and toast for an additional two minutes or until side two is golden brown and cheeses are melty.

Love the technique! Maybe I think I'll try it with pumpkin or something…
And no, you can't say lit 😐
YES you can say lit 🔥!!!
That thinly slicing bread was super impressive. The seeded loaf I get from my local bakery only sells it in whole loafs and I have not been able to get the hang of neatly slicing it. Every week it just gets decimated in crooked chunks and an explosion of crumbs.
multi cooker …
Saying 'LIT' for a 35 year old is okay, which you probably are by NOW because its been over a year since posting this VIDEO…but you should definitely stop saying 'DOPE', unless you just stepped out of PRISON, or a hip hop VIDEO😫
Nice bread slicing skill!! Can a bread knife be sharpened?
Best grilled cheese sandwiches are made in the oven
nice choice of food I Love your recipe for your. Cooking
No joke, I am doing a happy food dance in the kitchen right now after tasting this soup. It. Is. So. Good. Thank you for this awesome recipe!
this soup is really good you guys, im a really picky eater and im trying to branch out more in my cooking style and recipes and this is SO GOOD. it's my go-to soup to make whenever i get sick now, its so comforting and hits all my tastebuds just right. The only note i'd have is to add less garlic. I am a garlic garlic girl, BUT garlic flavor gets stronger over time and this recipe is for a lot of soup that you wont finish the day you make it. Instead of 8, id recommend 5 or 4 :>
34?! I thought you was about 40! 😂
I can easily deal with 8inches. Not a problem
The mixer step was not necessary. Its now baby food. Just use an immersion blender, and keep it chunky style, or as smooth as you want.
It saves so much dishes and work at this step. The rest of the soup is basically, put shit in a tray, put it in the oven, immersion blend, soup done.
34 year old men cannot say lit. Trust me I'm 36.
One suggestion, if your diet allows, put a drop of melted bacon grease in your tomato soup as you are making it. Resist the urge to put in more, as it will quickly dominate the soup. It adds a nice subtle hint of bacon flavor. It is simply the best on a cold rainy day. It tastes great dunking your grilled cheese in the soup too.
No provel? I kid. Looks amazing and I can't wait to try it.
Just found this and I will absolutely be making this as soon as possible
I always used ketchup with my grilled cheese since I could never get behind canned tomato soup. Too watery and lacking flavor. This changed my mind and I think the two are now inseparable. Next time I might want to try the soup with a mozzarella ball. A restaurant I always went to did that before and I always loved it. Grilled cheese was also killer. Thanks for elevating my favorite comfort foods!
The soup looked amazing, omg.
This is from someone who is going to culinary school and is currently learning to make sauces. What you made is not tomato soup, what you make is a tomato sauce, you also forgot the celery and carrots. The difference between a tomato soup and sauce is sugar. to make a tomato soup you add more sugar than salt. Yes, you salt to taste but you need sugar.
You've dirtied like 80 dishes
So I just made yet another batch of this soup, even though it’s August! I freeze what I don’t devour because I need to know I can have this whenever I want without always having to wait.
What is I don’t have a blender ? And a strainer ?
All canned tomatoes give me really bad cancer sores except Hunts…so thay's what I use.
34 year old men can not say "lit"
Seriously, what is with you using grams. You sound American, at least, you have no accent. So this video is clearly not made for Americans.
Baked soup??? IT WORKS! This is a brilliant idea and opens up a whole world of soup (you can make a pumpkin soup like this too). The best thing – you don't have to constantly watch it and stir it. Thank you for the idea.
