This creamy soup and sandwich combo takes comfort food to the next level.
“It’s a rainy day in East Hampton,” Garten shared on Instagram.
“The temperature is dropping, and it feels like soup weather!
Is there anything better than Easy Tomato Soup and a grilled cheese sandwich?”
Ina’sEasy Tomato Soupcomes as advertised, too.
(you might swap inwhole-wheat orzoto add some staying power to this soup.)
Haul out your favorite Dutch oven or soup pot and cook the onions in the olive oil until browned.
Then add in your garlic and cook briefly.
Let the soup come to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer.
While the soup simmers, cook your orzo in salty, boiling water for just seven minutes.
Let the soup simmer for another 10 minutes or so, stirring often.
Ina actually recommends serving this soup with her three-ingredient Grilled Cheese Croutons, if you’re so inclined.
She makes them with good country white bread, unsalted butter and grated Gruyere cheese.
Of course, you could also whip up a batch of grilled cheese sandwiches for everyone to enjoy.
You could even set up a Build-Your-Own Grilled Cheese bar to serve a crowd.
