Tomato & Roasted Red Pepper Soup with Pimento Grilled Cheese

November 19, 2020 by [email protected] 16 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Tomato and roasted red pepper soup with a side of pimento grilled cheese sandwiches is the ultimate soup & sandwich combination.

This soup recipe is so easy to make!  The thing that I love most about vegetable soups is that you can mix them up and then make them creamy with a little thing called an ‘immersion blender’.  I recently used it to make an amazing Asparagus Soup for another Sunday Supper.  I was trying to recreate a favorite of mine and it turned out perfect!

Let’s start off  Mitten Movie Night with a meal combo that hits the spot no matter the weather, soup, and grilled cheese.

What TV show pairs well with soup and sandwiches?

Mitten Movie Night was moved this week from Friday when it usually is to tonight.  We saved it because it’s a big TV night at our house.  It’s The Walking Dead season finale.  Are you a fan?  I found last season kind of bland but this season has certainly made up for it minus the first episode.

What beer pairs well with tomato and roasted red pepper soup with pimento grilled cheese?

The beer: Guinness Golden Ale.

Now enough about zombies and on to the food!

Ingredients

This tomato and red pepper soup with pimento cheese grilled sandwich has-

  • Simple roasted Roma tomatoes and red pepper drizzled with olive oil
  • Sauteed sweet onions and garlic
  • Tomato puree and chicken stock
  • Heavy whipping cream
  • Toasted buttered bread spread with a simple pimento cheese mixture

How to make tomato and roasted red pepper soup step-by-step

Start by preheating the oven to a 350-degree oven.

Chop the tomatoes and then core and slice the red peppers.

Place the vegetables on a baking sheet and drizzle with 2 Tbs oil.

Roast the vegetables for 40 minutes.

In the stockpot, add a little bit of olive oil and sautee the chopped sweet onion.

To the pot add the minced garlic, puree, chicken/vegetable stock, and sugar.

Remove the roasted vegetables to the stockpot.

Set to low/medium heat and bring to a low boil for 10 minutes.

To finish off add some heavy whipped cream then use an immersion blender to cream the soup.

If you do not have an immersion blender, add 3-4 ladle fulls of soup into a blender then add back into the pan.

How to make pimento grilled cheese recipe

Mix the mayo, cheese, and pimento in a bowl.

Slice and spread butter onto one side of the bread.

Add the pimento mixture onto the other side of the bread. Then top with the other slice of bread and butter.

Add the sandwich butter side down to a pan on medium/high heat. Cook as with any good grilled cheese-3 minutes, flip, then 3 more minutes until the middle is completely melted.

Tips & Variations

  • I love ciabatta for this grilled cheese recipe, make your own Easy No KNead Homemade Ciabatta with this recipe from An Italian In My Kitchen
  • You can make the sandwiches right in the air fryer like I do in this Air Fryer Ham and Cheese recipe

After your grilled cheese is nice and toasty and the soup is nice and toasty you ready to eat. And here you are….
