- Homemade Tomato Soup
1 large onion, diced
4 Tablespoons butter
3 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
15 ounce can tomato sauce
2 quarts (64 ounces) tomato juice
3 Tablespoons sugar
2 Tablespoons chicken flavored base
1 - 2 cups heavy cream
1 Tablespoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
pepper to taste
In a large stock pot or a Dutch Oven over medium heat, add the butter and onions. Sauté until the onions are translucent and soft. Add the garlic and flour, stirring and cooking for 1 minute to form a roux.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato juice, sugar, and chicken flavored base (or 3 bouillon cubes). Add the basil, salt, and pepper. Stir in as much heavy cream as you'd like (I use about 1 to 1 1/2 cups). Heat to a simmer for one to two minutes to slightly thicken the soup.
If desired, blend with an immersion blender (or in a blender or food processor). Remove from the heat and serve hot.
Bacon Grilled Cheese
Thick-sliced white bread
butter
Muenster Cheese
American Cheese
bacon, diced and fried
Butter the outside of two slices of bread. Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in a skillet. Top the piece of bread with two slices of Muenster Cheese, a generous helping of crumbled bacon, two slices of American Cheese, and the second slice of bread with the buttered side up. Grill, covered, over medium heat until the bottom is golden brown, flip the sandwich and grill the second side until golden brown.

Grill cheese dipped in tomato soup is delicious
A suggestion in our newspaper to use a thin layer of mayo instead of butter on bread for grilled cheese, has made us happy we took the suggestion, no greasy bread and beautifully browned.
Yes, that's another option. It works well. We hope you get to enjoy this soup and we appreciate that you are watching our channel.
Some use mayo for grilled cheese , but not in my home . A thin layer of butter works wonderfully . Not soggy , not greasy , just right . Different strokes , you know .
Thank you Tom and Melissa for taking your vacation time and doing these videos for those of us left behind to endure the cold winter. 😢. Love your video. Maybe before you go back home again, you could video all 6 of you guys sitting at your table and introduce us to them if they would agree. We would love to meet them too.
Thank you so much for the encouragement! It's delightful to be away from cold and snow! We just aren't fans of either anymore! Our friends are a bit reluctant to be on camera. I'm very self-conscious, too, so I understand their feelings.
I love watching you and your wife in the kitchen. If you don’t have a lid for a pan you can always use heavy duty foil. I make homemade tomato soup, I use stewed tomatoes that I can. I also use celery for flavor. Thanks for all the recipes you have given me. Judy
Celery would be awesome ❤
Please do not accommodate "entitled people"..
what are you talking about?
Another recipe for me to try! I've made so many of your recipes and all are delicious. You and Melissa need to publish a cookbook! Please! Thanks so much for sharing 😊
They share the recipes here, you can print them from under the description. Cut/paste to your own word doc. Save file online ir prints.
Prefer oregano to basil, but will try this. Bacon on grilled cheese? Interesting. I like a little sprinkle of garlic and some brown mustard on mine. Love you guys, you alwsys make me smile - and get hungry!
@@elizabethbaldwin8488 Thanks for the suggestion! I can definitely do that and compile them all in a binder, but it seems like a lot of work to me to copy/paste, print, and organize. There are many times when I get inspired simply by flipping through all the different recipes in a book. But, then again, I am old-school and prefer a bound book over an iPad. If Tom and Melissa came out with a cookbook, I would buy it in a heartbeat!
I would love to but a book. I also print them or screenshot them.
You make some of the best looking meals for us! Love tomato soup and grilled cheese! Thanks Tom and Melissa for sharing with us! God bless and love to you both! 💕🤗💕
Thank you so much for the kind comment. We are so encouraged by your words. Thank you for joining us at the table. We hope you will make this soup soon. Have a great afternoon!
One of my favourite combinations!!! Comfort food!!! 🥰🙏❤️⭐️🎶🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
It is definitely comfort food! We love this combination! Thank you so much for watching our channel. It's great to have you at the table with us.
Onion on grilled cheese is also OUT OF THIS WORLD YUMMY!!! 🥰🎶❤️🎶🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
So is a slice of fresh tomato out of the garden!
Do you cook onion first ?
Pickled red onion.
I absolutely love onions and several people have also recommended them so we will definitely be trying that out soon! Thank you so much for the suggestion. Our viewers are wonderful cooks!
Tom and Melissa, this looks so good! I can just hear the Campbell's soup commercial and singing, "Soup and sandwich . . .!"
Thank you ! We appreciate your kind comment. We love this combination, and we hope you can enjoy it soon, too! Hope your week is off to a good start.
I have your cinnamon bread in my oven. It smells wonderful. Love your channel. You and Melissa make this channel so fun and informative. Thank you!
My favorite recipes come from you and Melissa. You are an absolute pleasure to watch. Thank you for sharing your recipes and your time with all of us. It is very much appreciated!
This is my favorite soup and sandwich combo. I love the homemade tomato soup recipe. ❤
This may sound weird but the little town where I live makes bacon-apple grilled cheese. It is delicious! The apples are cooked beforehand and in small chunks! I am making this soup tomorrow!
What an interesting grilled cheese sandwich. That is an idea worth trying out! Thanks so much for sharing it with us. We hope you enjoy this soup as much as we do. Have a great week.
I think you are talking about a food processor! Love this soup combination! Brings back childhood memories! Thank you Tom and Melissa!
You're right lol! I said food processor kinda loud and laughed!
Me too! I hate when my brain does that, though! 😂😂
Love the added Bacon to the cheese sandwich I’ve never done that.
My favorite lunch, tomato soup and grilled cheese. I remember the first time I had grilled cheese and bacon, I was working and could finally afford it. That was in the very early 1970’s.
Thank you and Melissa looks so yummy. Love how Melissa has the written recipe makes it so convient to follow recipe and Tom love how patient showing us step by step comes out perfect every time. ....Kris
Growing up this was always Friday lunch
You must be Catholic...meatless friday.
Tom when you want to cook on the right burner, turn on one of the other burners don’t completely turn it on you want to hear the clicking sound, then trying turn on the right hand burner (the one that is being finicky) this should work. I have the same issue with one of my gas burners and this works for me. Like your recipes.
Yes! That works for me too!
I love tomato soup. I made some earlier this week with fire roasted canned tomatoes. I used an immersion blender before serving. The fire roasted tomatoes are a nice change for a smoky tomato flavor. We love bacon, sliced tomato, and basil on our grilled cheese.
Watching all of them. I love soup so much.
I made this soup today 2.9.24 and it’s just delicious. I have tried many recipes and no luck in getting the flavor I wanted. This fits me perfectly. Thanks for posting this as well as all the recipes for we viewers and followers to enjoy. ❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻
Now that we are empty nesters. This is our Sunday night dinner , every Sunday unless the girls are home from college. But they like it too!!!
I love your videos! I share them with my kids... 😊
Thank you, Melissa, for typing the recipe and Tom for making us salivate
Hi guys 🙋🏻, my favorite comfort meal is Tomato soup and grilled cheese ! Thanks for making this and sharing the recipe , nothing beats homemade !! God bless ❤️🙏🙋🏻🌈🌈
Thank you so much. We are so happy to have you watching our channel.
Thank you Tom and Melissa! I'm loving these Souperbowl recipes.
I made this soup for dinner tonight, served with warm bread. It is FANTASTIC! Easy, delicious and everyone loved it. I will never open a can of tomato soup again. This is the best recipe! Thank you 😊
I have loved Tomato Soup and Toasted Cheese sandwich together since I was a small child ! Brings back great memories ❤ ❤ !!
Yum, perfect for these cold and rainy days. Thank you
The bacon on the grilled cheese really is a game changer!
Yes, indeed! We love the soup and sandwich combination! Thanks so much for watching our channel. We hope you have a wonderful day!
I have a pot of this tomato soup on the stove as I type. The hubs will be home from work any minute now, and what better way to end a hard day of work than a lovely bowl of homemade tomato soup!!! I just took a taste (wouldn't want to poison anyone...lol!) and it is HEAVENLY. Thank you so much for sharing. My husband is from Kentucky and he says you always make him feel like he's back home!
What I love in Grilled cheese is sliced tomato and sliced dill pickles. Don't grill them inside. Get the cheese really gooey, pull the sandwich apart, and put the veggies inside. Reassemble, and enjoy! The sweet amd tart 🪮 nation cuts the unctuous fattiness of the cheese, and brings moisture to the sandwich.
Those are great tips! Our viewers have the best suggestions. We appreciate that you are watching our channel.
Hi Tom & Melissa, We learn at least one thing from every single one of your videos! So fantastic!
Thank you from Joan & Dennis in New York. ❤❤
One Thing I Love About Y’all Channel is Your Not Scared To Try The Amazing Dishes You Fix Meaning Others I have followed the look you get says it all and I am Blessed to be Apart of your Come Sit At Your Table ❤❤❤❤
Y’all are so special. You make our day special. Thank you.
How kind of you. Your comment is so encouraging. Thank you so much for joining us at the table.
I have debated writing this but I simply have to. You 2 remind me so much of my precious husband Stephen who I lost 6 yrs ago. I can feel the love you have for each other. Tom I love watching you cook so very much. You have the same tummy my Stephen had. lol
Please keep sharing with us and love and enjoy each other!
I cant wait for your next video.
Blessing and joy,
Suzanne Mott
I’m glad you used sweet (unsalted) butter here, as there’s a lot of salt in the tomato products. It’s always helpful if you specify sweet or salted butter in your videos.
Thanks so much for watching our channel. We try to give as much information as possible, but we are definitely not professionals. We appreciate you staying at the table with us anyway!
Oh - I love a good bowl of tomato soup. I'll definitely try this.
I look forward to your soup recipes. Tomato soup is my favourite. So far, the corn chowder recipe is my favourite of your recipes. Can't wait to try this one. Thanks for the great videos.
I have those same bowls! 😊
We are so glad you are watching and trying our recipes. We think the tomato soup is especially, good. Thank you so much for watching and being with us at the table.
I’m using bacon from now on. I’ve never made homemade tomato soup before. I can’t wait to make the soup. Thanks so much for your videos. This is a great channel.
Love 💕 and Hugs. 💙💙💙
Pineapple on grill cheese is good too!
Mmmm, yummy. Bacon and butter makes everything better!
I like to dip my grilled cheese in my tomato soup… yummy
Delicious meal. Enjoy your trip. We are waiting on first Great Grandchild.
I make a Tomato Florentine Soup. Easy, saute onion, minced garlic in butter. When onions are translucent, I add just a few crushed red pepper flakes. I pour a large can of crushed tomatoes and 2 lg. Cans of tomato sauce, and 1 small of tomato Can of tomato paste in. Add 2 cups of chicken broth, may need another half cup if your soup isn't the consistency you prefer. Cook on a medium heat, stirring. Make a slurry with cornstarch and cold water, as a thickener. Add frozen spinach that has thawed. Continue cooking on a med heat should be a slow rolling boil. Turn temp down to low and add either half & half or heavy whipping cream. * I have added small shell pasta before. It a hearty easy soup.
That sounds fantastic!
I am making this soup tonight and leaving it chunky. That looks so delicious.❤❤
I was thinking I'd prefer it chunky as well. In fact, I was thinking I'd prefer starting with diced tomatoes and just giving a gentle blend at the end (or maybe not).
Great flavor. As recommended, I purchased Sacramento Premium Tomato Juice. With this juice brand, my soup was a bit thicker than anticipated. A bit of chicken broth may solve this problem. Sacramento Premium was truly a quality product with no “canned” taste. As others have mentioned, this will feed a crowd. Thank you for sharing. Ellen Palasek, Matthews, NC
Enjoying the soup theme! Thanks so much for sharing these!
Oh that soup looks scrumptious ❣️ We love a little mustard on the inside of our grilled cheese, with a slice of ham, too; have never tried them with Muenster cheese, and that is now on my list to use that cheese with bacon!! Thanks, Tom & Melissa❣️
Oh my goodness, I've never thought of putting bacon on my grilled cheese!! Gotta try it
It's a great combination for a wonderful sandwich. We hope you enjoy it. Thanks so much for watching our channel.
For this and my marinara sauce, I grate the onions before cooking them and rasp the garlic. The onions soften faster and just melt into the soup/sauce.
Grating the onions would be a great option. It's nice to have such wonderful suggestions from our viewers. Thanks so much for watching our channel.
Wonderful tomato soup better than can huh🥰Blessings💛💚
I use a pinch of baking soda to offset acidity…ps LOVE a man who cooks 🎉❤ I also love a tomato bisque so chunks of tomato is my fave
Hello from snowy Rhode Island - love this series ! All my favs ! Keep up the great cooking n easy recipes. Can you do another themed series like something for Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter or for special holiday themed ? It will be a huge hit ! Bless you n Melissa! Love your style n easy follow step by step cooking. Thanks so much ! Lorelei in RI
Ok first let me say I LOVE your channel. I usually watch it after work just before bed. Okay now don't laugh...but everytime Tom goes to "taste" a bite and he goes to blow the food to cool it down. Im not sure why but I blow it also. 🤣 🤣
But I do really love to watch you all. I think I've seen every one. I really how you explain everything, and why. I home school my 13 year old son and he loves to watch some of them also. Keep those videos coming we love them. Love your stories also. I'm 58 and i know what you mean of all the old time stories. My moms people were southern thru and thru and you bring me many memories...Love you all Sherri❤
You’ve delighted us tonight with your comment! We’re so happy to have you at the table with us. Thank you so much for watching our videos!
I was searching Pinterest this past week for a good tomato soup recipe but they were all so complicated. Your recipe seems simple and looks so delicious. I’m gonna try this one day this week. (And of course the bacon grilled cheese to go with it) Love you channel
You are so kind. Thank you for the encouraging comments. We hope you enjoy the soup as much as we do.
These look absolutely Scrumptious!🍅😋😋😋♥️🥓
Tomato basil bisque is my favorite soup.
Will you do a live Q & A video sometime?
Thank you both for doing a super bowl Sunday set of recipes.
5:40 I think Tom was thinking food processor. How did you know my favorite soup combo is tomato soup and grilled cheese Sammie's? 😊 The ultimate grilled cheese is with bacon and tomato slices. Yum! This video brings back childhood comfort food memories. From Wisconsin the grilled cheese is the only go to Sammy to put with tomato soup.
Nothing better than tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. I loved this recipe, it looks easy. I’d probably use the immersion blender to whiz up the onions (ha. I added this before the end where you blended it) . I like it smooth. I’d probably add some toasted croutons on the top of the soup. Thanks. Hopefully your Florida vacation is enjoyable. 🇨🇦🇨🇦
I've had grilled cheese but I've never had a grilled cheese sandwich with bacon I'm going to have to try that
Add some grilled onion too! OMG!
@@scrapykat3028And a slice of tomato?
@@scrapykat3028 I can't dear onions tear me up they give me heartburns
@@sherroncunningham7845 sorry… but they add a lot to the sandwich as long as they are precooked
@@scrapykat3028 that's okay honey maybe I can use some minced onions maybe they won't hurt me
This looks so good 😊. Tomato soup and grilled cheese are my favorite ❤️
Nothing more classic than tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. My husband called them cheese toasties. He said if you are from Central Illinois, you call them cheese toasties. Great video.
I just made this soup. Delicous! Notice, it makes a very big batch. Hello neighbor. 😃😍
My favorite soup and sandwich go Chiefs
I have been wanting to make homemade tomato soup! Cant wait to try this! Becca M
Looks absolutely delicious thank you - as soon as our weather cools down, I’ll be trying this recipe!
Can't wait to watch your canning videos this summer
I can't wait to try your tomato soup and grilled bacon cheese sandwich. Now I crave this. It looks so yummy.
It's a great combination and we think it's perfect for winter days. Thank you so much for watching our channel.
I made this soup and grilled cheese tonight and it was absolutely delicious. It was such a cold damp day here today and this tasted so good! Thank you so much for sharing your recipes, I’ve made several others and have enjoyed them all. Your channel is one of my favorites. 😊
The words you were looking for were 'food processor ', I believe.
Also, when explaining what a roux is, the most important thing is that it's EQUAL AMOUNTS OF FLOUR AND FAT, generally butter. Depending on what and how much you are making, starting with 3-4 tablespoons of each is good. While stirring, slowly incorporating your liquid, be it milk or stock.
This will thicken 3-5 cups of liquid.
Love your channel ❤
Thank you so much for watching our channel. It's great to have wonderful cooks at the table with us.
Great video! I’m inspired to make both. Thank you from Southern California!♥️☮️
This looks delicious! Will definitely be trying this. There is nothing better on a cold day than grilled cheese and tomato soup. Would love to see your recipe for Chicken Paprikas.
This is my favorite soup and sandwich thank you bacon is good also to on the grill cheese.😊
My goodness. I’m booking a flight to wherever Florida for some soup and sandwich. 😂 Wow! So, so good.
I like grilled cheese with thin slivers of onion and thin slices of tomato btwn the cheese slices, cooked slow enough to almost cook the onion and tomato...YUMMY !!!
Oh my goodness, that sounds fantastic. I love onions, especially, and that sounds like something I need to try. We get great ideas from our viewers. Thanks so much for sharing with us.
Yum! Will try both!
OMG that soup looks amazing....and definitely going to try bacon on my grilled cheese..
God bless you and Melissa! Thank you for sharing the fruits of your labor processes with us. This looks awesome!😊👏
I definitely have to make this soup! I cannot stand canned soup! The flavor of canned soup is different from when I was a kid. Homemade is best! Thank you Tom and Melissa 🙏❤️
I’m so glad you chose tomato soup. I’ve been looking for a good tomato soup recipe ‼️‼️ this looks so delicious ‼️‼️ I think I’ve found it 😂😂😂thanks so much 😊😊😊 from Somerset 😊
I can't wait to try this. Especially the bacon grilled cheese
Love this series. This one is another winner. Thank you!
Yum!
When I'm making homemade tomato soup I use the diced smoked tomatoes in the can and I use Mrs Dash and unsalted butter and either onion powered or dried onion flakes and for the grill cheese sandwich I use smoked turkey bacon 🥓. You may want to try the turkey bacon tummy yummy 😋 😋. I've made several you recipes 👍 👍
Hello from Washington State. Thank you so much for your videos. You always give all kinds of information and possibly substitutions we can use should we need/want to. I LOVE the videos!!
Thank you again😊
Hello! It's so wonderful to have you watching our channel. We appreciate your kind words so much. You have really encouraged us! Thank you very much for joining us at the table. Hope you're having a great day!
Yum. The best comfort food for a cold Winter day. This looks soooooo good.
I fixed your soup recipe today and it is awesome. Happy Super Bowl day to you. Thank you so much for posting your video. I’ve shared it with my friends. Thank you.
Looks delicious!!!
Yum yummy I want some!
Can you please show how to mage homemade blueberry jam.That is my favorite jam.❤
Will Make this !
Thank you. Tomato 🍅 is my favorite ❤
Looks yummy on these cold, winter days!
Once again it looks delicious
Tomato soup is my favorite. It amazes me because I do not like uncooked tomatoes at all. Never have. But sauces and soups and stews that are tomato based, I love. Grilled cheese sandwiches go perfectly with tomato soup. Yum! ❤
I used to be the exact opposite. Loved raw tomatoes, but I wouldn't eat a cooked one - no tomato soup, no tomato juice, no chunks of cooked tomatoes in my food. That's changed now. Still love raw tomatoes, and not a big fan of tomato juice, but put all the cooked tomatoes in my food that you want. In fact, the chunkier the tomato pieces in the food the better I like it. No idea why.
Hello Tom & Melissa- this soup looks like a very good one. I like grilled cheese with bacon sandwich. It is so delicious. This winter I have had more tomato soup & grilled cheese sandwiches than I normally do. But it has been a long & cold winter & it is a great comfort soup & sandwich. I usually open a can of soup & add some milk. But your recipe looks to be good so I will be giving it a try in the near future. Thanks for sharing with us! 👏👏👏💕🌻
We sure hope you give it a try. It's a bit more involved than opening a can of soup, of course, but we think it's definitely worth the extra effort. Thank you so much for watching our channel. We hope you are having a nice day.
@@comesitatmytable9044 - I will definitely be making this soup thank you for sharing with everyone. Enjoy your week & have fun…💕
Great video and i love tomatoe soup and grilled cheese i love all of your videos❤
Really delicious! I adapted it for my Alpha Gal allergy and made it dairy free using olive oil and coconut cream in place of the butter and heavy cream. It turned out REALLY good and was super easy to make. For a quick pot of soup…this is going to be my go to. Thanks for the recipe inspiration! 🍅
Just made the grilled cheese/bacon sandwich!! O M Goodness!!!! Delicious!!!
