Prep

Step 1. Heat Olive Oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add Onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in Garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 2. Add Canned Tomatoes, Vegetable Stock, Salt, and Black Pepper. Bring to a simmer, then lower the heat and cook until the onion is very soft, about 15 minutes.
Step 3. Meanwhile, spread one side of each slice of Bread with Butter. Divide Cheddar Cheese among the unbuttered sides of half the slices, then close the sandwiches with the buttered sides facing out.
Step 4. Cook the sandwiches in batches in a large skillet over medium-low heat, turning once, until golden and the cheese melts, about 6 minutes per batch. Lower the heat if the bread browns too quickly.
Step 5. Remove the soup from the heat. Blend with an immersion blender until smooth, then stir in Heavy Cream.

Finish & serve

Step 6. Ladle the soup into bowls. Cut the sandwiches in half and serve alongside for dipping.

Tips

Swap it

Use gluten-free sandwich bread for a gluten-free dinner, and check that the stock is gluten-free.

Good to know

Keep the skillet over medium-low heat so the cheese melts before the bread gets too dark.

Leftovers

Refrigerate leftover soup for up to 3 days and reheat gently; make the sandwiches fresh for the crispest bread.
