INGREDIENTS
1 cup Diced Tomatoes (240g)
2 tbsp Tomato Paste (33g)
1 cup Vegetable Broth (240g)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese (110g)
10g Fresh Basil
1 clove Garlic (3g)
1/4 medium Onion (28g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
2 slices Whole Grain Bread (60g)
1 slice Cheddar Cheese (28g)
1 tsp Butter (5g)
PREPARATION
In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped quarter onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant.
Stir in 1 cup of diced tomatoes and 2 tbsp of tomato paste. Allow the mixture to heat for a couple of minutes.
Pour in 1 cup of vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in 1/2 cup of low-fat cottage cheese and the fresh basil. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup to a smooth, creamy consistency.
Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Return to low heat if necessary to warm through before serving.
For the grilled cheese, butter one side of each of the 2 slices of whole grain bread with 1 tsp of butter.
Place 1 slice of cheddar cheese between the unbuttered sides of the bread to form the sandwich.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and grill the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted.
Serve the creamy tomato basil soup alongside the crispy whole grain grilled cheese.
