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

What TV show pairs well with soup & 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 & Roasted Red Pepper Soup with Pimento Grilled Cheese?

The beer: Guinness Golden Ale.

Now enough about zombies and on to the food!

This soup is so easy! 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!

How to make Tomato & Roasted Red Pepper Soup:

Start by preheating the oven to 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.

Once they are roasted add to a large stockpot with minced garlic, puree, chicken/vegetable stock, and sugar.

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:

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.

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