In the winter months, there is nothing better or more comforting than a cup of amazing soup and a grilled cheese sandwich (with sliced tomatoes). And since this is a "cafe," I thought I would share my favorite soup invention:
Triple "T" Soup:
a can of Tomato soup
half can milk, half can water
(i like soy milk, but that's just me)
one can Tomatoes
(Del Monte Diced - any style)
a handful or two of Tortellini
Dump the soup, milk/water, and tomatoes in a pot. Cook on medium, but DON'T bring to a boil. Add the Tortellini...it's best to use the refrigerated kind, it won't take as long to cook.
Season if you like: with pepper and Chipotle Tabasco (my kitchen staples!!)
To me, the triple "T" of this recipe is the tomato, tortellini and tabasco. However, if you are not a hot sauce fan, you can call it triple "t" for the two tomato ingredients and tortellini...you won't hurt my feelings.
Grill your cheese sandwich...
If you are feeling ambitious, put cream cheese on one slice, and cheddar on the other slice, and throw a couple of tomato slices in the middle. Again, sometimes I put a couple of drops of hot sauce on the cream cheese. I love that stuff!
I am also a sucker for Parsley. If you have fresh, chop some up and put in your sandwich, in your soup...it's not just for garnish!
The other day I made this soup, and had so much left over, I threw it in the fridge. In two days, the tortellini had soaked up most of the liquid. I reheated pretty much tortellini with a tomato gravy...
It's amazing stuff.
