Ingredients

Tomato Bisque:

2 tablespoons butter

10 cloves garlic 

2 large yellow onions, sliced 

8 ounces Arborio rice 

Four 16-ounce cans San Marzano tomatoes 

4 cups vegetable stock 

4 cups heavy cream 

Salt and pepper

Grilled Cheese:

2 tablespoons butter, softened

Four 1-inch slices brioche 

4 slices American cheese 

1/4 cup grated Gruyere 

1/4 cup grated provolone 

1/4 cup grated Swiss cheese 

1 tablespoon white truffle oil

Directions

  1. For the bisque: In a large pot over medium heat, add the butter, garlic and onions. Cook until the vegetables begin to sweat, stirring constantly to avoid burning, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the rice and stir to coat with butter. Add the tomatoes and vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Turn the temperature down to low and let simmer until the rice is tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  3. Working in four separate batches, add 3 cups of the tomato mixture and 1 cup cream to a blender and blend to until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. For the grilled cheese: Butter the brioche slices and place, buttered-side down, in a large saute pan over medium heat. Top each with a slice of American cheese. Mix the Gruyere, provolone and Swiss together, and then evenly distribute over the American cheese. Drizzle with the truffle oil. Cook until the buttered side of the bread is toasted and golden brown. Sandwich the bread together and serve with the bisque.

I didn't make the grilled cheese. But the soup which I cut in half was pretty good. Didn't quite have two cups of heavy cream and it was fine. Needs alot of salt and pepper at the end, but it says season to taste
