Easy roasted tomato soup

5-6 fresh tomatoes, sliced
2 onions, chopped
1/4 cup olive oil, divided
Salt and pepper to taste
6-10 cloves garlic, rough chopped
1 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes in juice (I like San Marzano)
2-4 cups chicken broth or stock
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup torn basil

Brioche grilled cheese

1 loaf brioche bread, cut into at least 12 slices
1/2 cup soft butter
cups shredded cheddar cheese

1. Set the Electrolux wall oven to the air fryer setting at 425 degrees. On a baking sheet lined with parchment, drizzle tomatoes and onions with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the baking sheet into the oven and bake at least 30 minutes.  

2. While tomatoes roast, heat a large soup pot to medium-high heat and add remaining olive oil and garlic. Cook 2-3 minutes, then add canned tomatoes and stock. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer. 

3. When tomatoes are done, add them plus their juices to the pot of simmering tomatoes. Add basil.  

4. Use a stick blender or traditional blender to blend soup until smooth. Add 1 cup heavy cream, stir, and simmer on low while you make brioche grilled cheese.  

5. Butter one side of each bread slice.  

6. Heat a large skillet to medium heat and place 2 slices of bread into the hot skillet, buttered side down. Place about 1/3 cup shredded cheese on top of each slice. 

7. Top each with another slice of buttered bread, buttered side up.  

8. Fry sandwiches around 3 minutes on each side until golden in color. Repeat the process for all six sandwiches.  Serve with your roasted tomato soup. Enjoy!
