🍅 Tomato Basil Soup & Caprese Sandwich

Fresh, comforting, and built for dipping.

There’s something about the combo of rich tomato soup and a cheesy sandwich that just hits. But this version? It’s elevated with heirloom tomatoes, creamy broth, fresh basil — and a golden sourdough caprese sandwich made to dunk.

This is one of those pairings that feels like a hug and looks great on camera.

🥣 Tomato Basil Soup

Ingredients:

• 5 lbs heirloom tomatoes (any mix of colors)
• 1 large handful fresh basil leaves
• 4 cloves garlic, peeled
• 1 tsp sea salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 3 cups chicken broth
• Optional: microgreens for garnish

Steps:

1. Roast the tomatoes + garlic at 400°F for 35–40 minutes — until blistered and soft.
   • Place roughly cut into cubes on baking sheet, cut side up
   • Peel after roasting/before putting into pot for soup
2. Toss everything (including juices) into a food processor with basil, salt, and pepper.
3. Blend until smooth, then pour into a pot with chicken broth. Simmer for 15 mins.
4. Stir in cream, adjust seasoning, and serve hot.
5. If using, sprinkle microgreens on top for serving

Tip: Save a few roasted tomato skins for garnish — looks great on camera.
