Fact: there’s nothing more comforting than a grilled cheese dipped in a big bowl of tomato soup. But if you know me you know I love to make my meals colorful and full of veggies, so I’ve added arugula and red pepper jam for a kick! Plus a few types of cheese (havarti and cheddar).
Tomato soup is very easy to make by just roasting some tomatoes with basil and pureeing everything together; but I didn’t have the time or energy so I used store bought which is always okay to do. Hope you enjoy! xo
