You can very rarely go wrong with the classic soup and grilled cheese combination. We have our own "lunch special" at home every once a week where we ditch the usual quinoa, brown rice and go straight for the yum grilled cheese sandwich as an accompaniment to the soup.
Today veer tried a yumilicious roasted tomato soup with sandwich where we played with the concept of dunking and eating :) ofcourse it was messy but was so much fun! We took strips of grilled cheese sandwich and dipped it in the soup and made fun expressions while we ate together.
Now that the dunking and licking is on its way, I am sure oreos and milk will happen soon.. I hope soon is further away for now!! Would not want to lose my healthy veggie eater to processed foods JUST YET.
Roasted Tomato and Red Pepper Soup
Ingredients :
2 coarsely chopped big tomatoes
Half coarsely chopped green pepper
Half an onion
Handful of Zucchini chunks
2 cloves garlic
Herbs: Oregano(dried), Thyme(dried), Basil(fresh)
1 Tbs Olive oil
1 pinch of brown coconut palm sugar and sea salt
Method:
Preheat your oven to 350F. On a cookie sheet, place the tomatoes and green pepper. In a small bowl combine the oil and the dried herbs and drizzle the oil+herb mixture on the vegetables. Place the cookie sheet in the oven and roast for 30 minutes or till the veggies are soft and brown.
In a sauce pain saute the onion, garlic and zucchini together till the veggies are soft and the garlic is brown.
Blend the veggies from the cookie sheet and the sauce pan together with water/homemade broth. Add the basil and pulse till the basil is mixed in.
Pour the soup in a sauce pan, set to boil and add the sugar and salt to taste.
Enjoy with a plain ol' grilled cheese sandwich or a grain of your choice!
