- Once all the tomatoes are fully broken down, pour in your cream then blend until smooth. Check you’re happy with the seasoning, and set aside.
- Load 2 slice2 of bread with the grated cheese before placing another slice of bread on top.
- Place a frying pan on a medium heat and add a few cubes of butter. When foaming, place your toasties in and cook until golden brown, flip then continue to cook until the cheese is nice and gooey.
- Pour the tomato soup into a bowl, top with a drizzle of olive oil, some torn basil leaves and a good pinch of black pepper. Dig in… and enjoy!
