There are days when only true comfort food will do. A warm bowl of tomato soup with a gooey grilled cheese sandwich always makes me feel better.
Creamy Tomato Soup & Grilled Cheese
Ingredients

Steps
- For the soup: Simmer crushed tomatoes, broth, and torn basil leaves for 15 minutes. Blend until smooth, then stir in heavy cream.
