INGREDIENTS
- 1 Jar Botticelli Marinara Pasta Sauce
- 1 Jar Botticelli Roasted Red Peppers, drained
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp. Botticelli Cooking Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Botticelli Chef Select Finishing Extra Virgin Olive Oil, for garnish
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
- Salt and Pepper to taste
For the Grilled Cheeses:
- 4 slices of sourdough bread, or your preferred bread.
- 4 slices of fontina cheese
- 4 slices of gouda cheese
- Butter, room temperature for spreading
PREPARATION
- Heat a soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the 2 tbsp of Cooking Extra Virgin Olive Oil to the bottom and add the garlic cloves; sauté for approx. 1-2 minutes.
- In a blender, add the Marinara Pasta Sauce, Roasted Red Peppers, sautéed garlic, and chicken stock. Blend until silky smooth.
- Pour the mixture back into the pot and bring to a simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. If preferred, add extra stock or water to thin out the soup.
- Remove the soup from the heat and pour the heavy cream in. Stir to gently combine. Let the pot gradually cool while you make the grilled cheeses.
- To make the grilled cheeses, heat a pan over medium-low heat. Butter one side of each slice of bread and set aside.
- Place one slice of bread, butter side down, into the pan. Next, layer a slice of fontina cheese and a slice of gouda cheese. Top with another slice of bread, butter side up. Cover the pan with a lid and let it cook slowly to ensure a crispy crust. Cook for about 1-2 minutes or until the bottom slice has turned golden brown.
- Carefully flip the grilled cheese, cover again, and let cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the bread has toasted enough and the cheese has melted through. Repeat with the second grilled cheese. Keep in mind, the pan is hotter this time around; cook time may vary. Once done, let cool while you prepare the soup bowls.
- Once the second grilled cheese is almost done, ladle out your soup portions into your bowls. Top each bowl with a drizzle of Chef Select Finishing Extra Virgin Olive Oil and a few fresh basil leaves.
- Slice your grilled cheeses into small bite sizes and top your soup with them before serving!
