Grilled Cheese Tomato Tortellini Soup

Leave a comment

This Grilled Cheese Tomato Tortellini Soup is super tasty and simple to make. If you like grilled cheese sandwiches then your going to love this soup!

I grew up eating grilled cheese sandwiches, I have no idea how many I have eaten in my adolescent years. But I’m guessing hundreds if not… dare i say thousands.

I mean what kid doesn’t like a grilled cheese sandwich? Now that I am grown, I like to experiment with lets say, more sophisticated recipes. You know so that my family thinks my tastes have evolved. 

This soup really satisfies my craving for a grilled cheese sandwich, which i admit comes on now and again. If you have kids, I can only imagine how much they would love this soup!

Also keep in mind, as with all my recipes. If you want to make more or less of this soup, simple adjust the serving size in the ingredients section above and the servings will automatically adjust for you. This soup can store in the fridge for up to 3 days and or freeze for up to 3 months.

Over the years I have made this soup a few different ways and found this recipe to sure hit the spot. Actually the day I discovered “Passata Sauce” is the day I started experimenting with homemade tomato soups.

So what is Passata Sauce?

Passata Sauce is the base for all Italian tomato sauces, it is uncooked tomato puree without seeds or skins. Essentially, it is tomato sauce in its rawest form. Of course you can always use fresh tomatoes by blending them into a puree in the blender as well. Totally up to you!

Then to add a bit more of a tomato base, I will use a can of tomato paste which blends out well when added to the vegetable stock.

Serve this alongside a grilled cheese sandwich and you will be in HEAVEN!

And without further adieu the secret ingredient is Philadelphia Cream Cheese!

Margarita Omelette

Leave a comment

These Margarita Omelette are something special, made with fresh basil, passata tomato sauce, jalapeno cheese and eggs. 

I came up with this recipe recently while experimenting with different ways to use “passata tomato sauce”.

And boy oh boy this recipe is a keeper!

What is passata sauce

Well it’s a Tomato base that is used for most traditional Italian sauces.

Basically it is uncooked tomato puree without seeds or skins.

If you have ever had a margherita pizza and liked it your sure to enjoy this recipe. The taste is the same minus the bread which is replaced with eggs.

So if you are on a paleo or gluten free diet than this would be perfect.

I highly recommending using jalapeno cheese instead of mozzarella for this recipe, as it gives it that extra kick that works so well.

These omelettes are sure to be popular in your household with all those who like margarita style pizzas. And they can be enjoyed for breakfast oras a dinner.

Also feel free to use anywhere from 2 to 3 eggs for this recipe, I tend to use 3 when serving it for dinner and 2 for breakfast. This particular recipe calls for 3 each.

So you will start by simply, cooking the passata sauce along with the spinach. Once it’s been simmering for 5 minutes on medium heat.

Then remove it from the heat and allow it to cool down before pouring onto the plates.

Then you can crack and beat the eggs till slightly fluffy in a medium sized bowl.

Season lightly with some salt and pepper and place in a small non stick frying pan after the butter as coasted the bottom of the pan.

Cooking the omelette is super simple, as you are just cooking it over medium high heat till it starts to bubble and firm.

You may want to shake the pan a bit to allow the egg to cook more evenly.

Then once it has firmed somewhat you will then place the shredded “Jalapeno Cheese” over the top along with the sliced cherry tomatoes.

Note: Feel free to use Mozzarella cheese instead of Jalapeno Cheese if desired.
