Roasted Tomato Basil Soup and Grilled Cheese

The tomatoes are roasted in our Organic Coconut Oil to create a depth of flavor, then blended with our Organic Ghee to add that buttery taste we all love.

Ingredients:

Directions:

For the soup:

 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Spread tomato halves on a baking sheet. Drizzle with Carrington Farms Organic Coconut Oil, and then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Roast tomatoes for 1 hour. Remove from oven and set aside.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of Carrington Farms Organic Ghee, in a large pot (or Dutch oven) over medium-high heat.
  4. Add onion, and sauté for about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Sauté for another minute.
  5. Add crushed tomatoes, basil, and sugar to the pot. Lower the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  6. Add the stock and the roasted tomatoes into the pot. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring every now and then.
  7. Use an immersion blender to purée the soup, or very carefully transfer to a blender or food processor to purée. This would most likely need to be done in a couple batches. Return the soup to the pot.
  8. Stir in the cream and serve.

For the grilled cheese:

  1. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat with 1 tablespoon of Carrington Farms Organic Ghee.
  2. Coat both slices of wheat bread with Carrington Farms Organic Ghee on both sides.
  3. Place one slice into the skillet and let toast (about 1 minute as it will continue to toast later on)
  4. Once done, carefully remove the slice from the skillet and repeat this with your second slice.
  5. Once your second slice is toasted, Carefully add cheddar and mozzarella cheese to the toasted bread slice and top with the remaining slice of wheat bread.
  6. Watch carefully as your cheese begins to melt and flip your grilled cheese to allow for an even melt on both sides.
  7. Once complete, move your grilled cheese to your plate and serve.
Enjoy!
