Tomato Basil Soup and Grilled Cheese Dippers

The product page lists tomato powder, cheese powder, basil, Italian seasoning, brown sugar, garlic, and onion, and says it's "Great on its own or paired with a grilled cheese sandwich." It's the classic fall lunch without opening a can. The product page notes it contains milk (cheese powder).

Made with

• Sun-Kissed Tomato Basil Soup

Ingredients and steps

Serves: 4-6

From the product page: "Stovetop: add the whole kit to 6 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer 25 to 35 minutes, stirring now and then." and "Crockpot: add the kit to 6 cups of water. Cook on High 1 1/2 to 2 hours or Low 4 hours, stirring now and then."

Ingredients

• 1 Sun-Kissed Tomato Basil Soup kit
• 6 cups water
• A splash of cream (optional)
• For the dippers: 8 slices sturdy white or sourdough bread, 4 tablespoons softened butter, and 8 slices cheddar or American cheese

Steps

1. Add the whole kit to 6 cups of water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer 25-35 minutes, stirring now and then. Stir in a splash of cream at the end if you like.
2. While it simmers, butter one side of each slice of bread. Build 4 sandwiches with the butter on the outside and 2 slices of cheese in each.
3. Cook in a skillet over medium-low heat 3-4 minutes per side, until golden and the cheese melts.
4. Cut each sandwich into 4 strips for dipping and serve with the soup.
5. Game day: Use the product page's crockpot directions and keep the soup on Warm, with the grilled cheese made to order.

Pair it with
