Single serving Tomato basil soup & tortilla grilled cheese

 

I really enjoyed this last night. I was craving cheese and tomatoes and I didn't want it all in one bite, but several tasty ones. It's a simple recipe but so so good.

Tomato soup

2 Roma tomatoes diced

4 fresh basil leaves minced

1/8 tsp garlic powder or one small garlic clove

1/8 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp sea salt

Dash of ground red pepper

 Puree tomatoes in magic bullet. Toss in small sauce pan. Add all ingredients and cook on low for 20 minutes.

Taste and add more spices if needed.

Cook for another 10 minutes

Tortilla grilled cheese

1 small whole wheat tortilla

butter

2 slices of white American cheese (or cheese of choice)

Preheat stove top to medium head and place pan on to warm up. 

Spread a very thin layer of butter over tortilla. Place tortilla on pan butter side down. Layer cheese on one half of tortilla and fold over. Heat until tortilla is crispy and cheese is melted. I cute the Tortilla in half as well.

enjoy
