Ingredients for Soup & Sandwich

3 carrots
2 celery stalks
1 yellow onion
3 garlic cloves
140 g tomato paste
700 g strained tomatoes
800 ml vegetable broth
1 can white beans (Cannellini)
200 g whipping cream
1 handful fresh basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp rapeseed oil
3 tbsp unsalted butter (for soup & sandwich)
1 pinch salt
1 pinch ground black pepper

Sandwich Components

4 slices cheddar cheese
2 slices sourdough bread

Soup Preparation

1
Peel the carrots and cut them into small pieces along with the celery. Heat a large pot, add 2 tbsp butter and the rapeseed oil. Sauté the vegetables until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, finely dice the onion and slice the garlic. Once the vegetables are browned, add the onion and sauté until translucent, then briefly fry the garlic.
2
Stir in tomato paste and oregano, season with salt and pepper, and fry vigorously for one minute, stirring constantly. Add strained tomatoes and vegetable broth and mix everything well. Simmer over medium heat for about 20 to 30 minutes until the vegetables are soft. Add the drained beans and warm for a few minutes. Stir in fresh basil and blend the soup smooth with an immersion blender. Refine with whipping cream and season with salt and pepper if necessary.

Sandwich Preparation

1
Place cheddar cheese on two slices of bread and close them. In a hot pan with the remaining butter (1 tbsp), fry until golden brown on both sides until the cheese is melted. Cut into strips or triangles.
2
Arrange the soup in bowls, garnish with a dollop of cream and basil leaves, and serve with the warm grilled cheese sandwich.
