- 1 onion finely chopped
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 1 cup cream

For the grilled cheese croutons

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F.
- Place the tomatoes in a large baking dish or baking sheet.
- Slice the top off the garlic and add to the tomatoes with the fresh basil, oregano, chilli flakes, salt and pepper.
- Drizzle over the olive oil and the Balsamic vinegar. Place the tomatoes in the oven and allow to roast for 30-45 minutes until the tomatoes start to char around the edges.
- Remove from the oven.
- In a large pot set over medium-high heat, melt a tablespoon of butter.
- Add a finely diced onion and sauté until soft and fragrant.
- Squeeze the roasted garlic into the pot then discard the skins.
- Transfer the roasted tomatoes to the pot along with any juices. Pour in the broth/stock then bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes.
- Once the soup has simmered for 10 minutes, transfer the soup to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour back into the pot then add the cream, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Simmer for 5 minutes while you make the grilled cheese sandwiches.
- Add grated cheese to sliced bread. Top with another slice of bread and butter generously on the outside.
- Cook the grilled cheese in a pan set over medium heat until golden brown on both sides.
- Remove the grilled cheese from the heat and allow to cool for a few minutes then slice into cubes with a hot knife.
- Ladle the hot soup into serving bowls then add a swirl of cream (optional).
- Add grilled cheese croutons and fresh basil then serve immediately.
