Ingredients
- Bread:
- 1 large loaf sourdough bread
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, sliced thinly
- 1 cup monterey jack cheese, sliced thinly
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Soup:
- 1 (28 oz.) can San Marzano seasoned whole tomatoes, juices reserved, chopped
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- garlic powder, optional, to taste
- onion powder, optional, to taste
- kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Preparation
- Place tomatoes and juices in a food processor, adding garlic or onion powders, if using, and pulse until smooth.
- Transfer to a large bowl and stir in heavy cream
- Using a sharp serrated knife, cut down into the center of one of the ends of the bread and form a large circle, leaving 1/2-inch space at the bottom of the crust. (Soup bowl will be on one end of loaf, grilled cheese slices on the other.) Leave all remaining bread intact.
- Using a spoon or your hands, pull out all the bread in the circle and set aside.
- Place bread so that the long edge is facing you and, working your way away from the hollowed out end, make several vertical cuts until you reach the other end. Don’t cut through the bottom of loaf. Make sure to leave hollowed out end intact.
- In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter and garlic powder. Gently separate bread slices and drizzle butter mixture into the slices on both sides of bread.
- Take cheddar cheese slices and stuff it down into the bread slices.
- Line bread bowl with remaining monterey jack slices.
- Pour cheesy tomato soup into hollowed out end and place baking dish in oven. (Optional: sprinkle grated parmesan over the top.) Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
