Total time:
50 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 1kg ripe tomatoes, halved
- 2 red onions, sliced
- ½ pack fresh sage
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1½ litres hot vegetable stock
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- For the sandwiches:
- 8 slices thick-cut Granary malted brown bread
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 150g mature Cheddar, coarsely grated
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. Place the tomatoes, onions and sage in a roasting tin. Season, then drizzle with the oil. Roast for 20 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender.
- Pour the hot vegetable stock over the tomatoes and onions and return to the oven for a further 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are very soft.
- Meanwhile, make the sandwiches. Thinly spread 4 slices of bread with the mustard. Scatter with the Cheddar, then place the remaining slices of bread on top. Press down firmly.
- Preheat the grill to medium. Arrange the sandwiches on a grill pan or baking sheet and toast for 1-2 minutes on each side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Cut each sandwich into 4 fingers.
- Carefully pour the soup into a liquidiser or food processor and blend for 2-3 minutes, until smooth - you may have to do this in several batches. Reheat the soup if it has cooled and serve with the warm cheese toasties.
