Method
 

Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a roasting pan with parchment paper.
  2. Place your tomatoes in the roasting pan, drizzling with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Sprinkle with sugar and salt. Roast for 25-30 minutes.
  3. Heat a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and red onions, sautéing for 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and basil for another minute.
  4. Once tomatoes are roasted, add them to the pot along with tomato paste and broth. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  5. Blend the soup until smooth with an immersion blender, then stir in cream and adjust seasoning.
  6. Mix mozzarella and cheddar. Spread butter on one side of each bread slice, add cheese, and top with the other slices, buttered side out.
  7. Cook sandwiches in a skillet over medium heat, about 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cheese is melted.
  8. Serve the soup in bowls with a drizzle of cream and fresh basil leaves alongside the grilled cheese sandwiches.
