If you are looking for an easy dinner idea that is comforting and scrumptious, easy and cheesy all in the same pretty bowl, you’ve come to the right place. Today I present you my latest creation. Take a look! And if you are wondering … it is as good as it looks 🙂
We all know that tomato soup is one of the most comforting food you can find in a bowl. And when you serve it next to a hot-from-the-grill cheese sandwich, things are bound to get delicious.
But wait, I’m taking this soup/sandwich duo up a notch with this silky and dense tomato soup topped with grilled bread cubes and a hip full of grated Gruyere cheese. All baked in the same bowl to melty perfection. And sorry, no dunking needed.
The idea of this soup came to mind when I got these extremely cute onion soup crock and I was planning to make the classic French soup. But my younger boy is not a big fan of onions, and really loves the cheese/bread top of it (who doesn’t, right?!). Tomato is of course everyone’s favorite soup. So, after getting the two recipes together, taadah! Here is dinner.
Thank you Tuxton for the amazing plates!
