How To Prepare Tomato Soup & Grilled Cheese

Substitutions and Variations
- Something I love about this recipe is that it is very easy to make gluten free, the soup itself already is so all you have to do is sub the bread.
- You can replace all dairy for non-dairy alternatives.
- I topped the soup with crushed red peppers, but if you don’t want to add that spicy touch, you can leave them out.
- Herbs are always quite easy to swap for your favorite ones, or which ever ones you have on hand.
Chef Nadia’s Tip
Make sure you brown the grilled cheese low and slow so you get gooey cheese and a golden crust.
