An all time classic combination of Tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. A little twist is the use of Havarti dill in place of orange plastic wrapped fake cheese. Enjoy.



1 28 oz can tomato puree. I like Muir Glen but you can use what you wish just try and use the best tasting tomato puree that you can. It matters.



4 Shallots, minced

1/2 stick unsalted butter

1/4 tsp allspice

2Tbsp Honey

2Tbsp

1tsp Baking soda

1 1/2 cups heavy cream or Half and Half

salt and pepper to taste



In a pot cook shallots with butter till translucent add flour and cook 2 minutes stir often to keep from burning. add Allspice and honey, cook 2 minutes. Add tomato puree and bring to a simmer add baking soda. You may want to sit the pot in the sink to do this in case the reaction of the baking soda and the acid in the tomato puree causes it to over flow. big mess on a stove top. stir and cook 2 minutes add heavy cream and heat but do not boil.



Serve this with sourdough bread with Havarti dill cheese buttered and grilled.
