    **TOMATO SOUP RECIPE, MAKES 6-8 BOWLS**
    1 large onion
    1 fennel bulb (you could skip this, or replace it with another onion)
    1 stick (4 oz, 113g) butter (you could use as little as 1/4 of that)
    pepper
    1 teaspoon celery seeds (very optional)
    1/4 cup flour (30g)
    2 28 oz (800g) cans of tomatoes (quality matters a lot, and I like Muir Glen in the U.S.)
    1 cup (237mL) white wine (very optional)
    salt
    water
    sugar (if the tomatoes aren't sweet enough)
    tomato paste (if the tomatoes aren tomatoey enough)
    olive oil, chili flakes and a garlic clove for the chili oil garnish
    Roughly chop the onion and the fennel bulb (reserving the stalks and fronds for later). Melt the butter in a big pot over medium heat and cook the onion and fennel in there for a few minutes until it starts to soften. Grind in some pepper and put in the celery seeds. Stir in the flour, and cook it for a couple minutes. Before anything browns, dump in the tomatoes. If the tomatoes are whole, you can accelerate their cooking by squishing them up. Stir in the wine, if you're using it. Simmer for at least a half hour, stirring and scraping occasionally to keep anything from burning on the bottom.
    For the chili oil garnish, put maybe 1/4 cup (60mL) of olive oil in a small pan and fill it with chili flakes. Drop in the garlic clove and heat it until the garlic just starts to sizzle. Leave it on low heat to infuse while the soup cooks.
    When the soup is ready, puree it and then add salt and water to taste - you will probably need a lot of both. Consider the addition sugar or tomato paste to enhance the flavor, or maybe some vinegar if you didn't use the white wine. If you want it super smooth, use a stiff spoon to grind the soup through a sieve, discarding the vegetable fibers.
    Serve the soup with a drizzle of chili oil on top and maybe some of the reserved fennel fronds.
    **CLASSIC GRILLED CHEESE RECIPE**
    Soften a lot of butter - maybe a tablespoon (30g) per slice of bread. Liberally butter each slice of bread on one side. Heat a nonstick pan over medium, and put in the first slice of bread, butter-side down. Lay on 2-3 slices of cheese (I prefer "American" cheese), and dust on a little garlic powder (that's not classic - just my trick). Put the second slice of bread on, butter-side up. Cover the pan with a lid or some foil and cook until the first side is brown to your liking. Flip, cover, and cook until the second side is done. (If you want your cheese to be very gooey, splash a little water in the pan before you cover it for the second time.) When both sides are brown, I like to uncover it and flip it a couple more times, just to get both sides hot and dry.

    Old fry cook here, you can melt your butter in the pan, then lay both slices down on that thin pool of butter and slide them around to soak it up, then lay cheese on one or both slices. When you put them together you’ll find the cheese has melted, even without covering. When that pool of butter is there, you can season it with garlic salt, etc. (Jane’s Crazy Mixed Salt is my fave for grilled cheese). Awesome soup recipe! Lauren’s right, triangles are always tastier. 😀

    Mom always buttered and grilled both sides of the bread, that's how I still do it. She served it with good old Campbell's tomato soup with the addition of a few shredded fresh basil leaves. Mom worked as a professional chef for a good part of her adult life but she knew a good short cut when she saw it.

    *Tip of mine for y'all to try:* I like to press (hard) the grilled cheese in the pan with a spatula. It makes the bread thin and crunchy all the way through. It stops the tomato soup from making the bread soggy.
    _Also try nutmeg in your soup, DONT OVER DO IT just a dab of it. Lots of pepper and garlic powder._

    Hi Adam, took me until now to try this incredible tomato soup recipe, and for any doubters out there, let me just say "WOW"! I used Muir Glen organic fire roasted tomatoes (fairly expensive here in Canada) to kick it up a notch, and had to use a whole can of tomato paste to achieve my desired sweetness. Not being a huge fan of cooking with wine, this worked out just fine. I left it unstrained for a more rustic soup that my son, who doesn't really like tomato soup, had two helpings of.
    Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. Although I've been cooking for my entire life, I really appreciate how you're showing folks just how easy it is to make delicious, budget conscious foods at home, much the same as Chef John and Mark Mittenberg.
    Cheers!

    Or be a savage like me: Take the stick of butter and apply directly and generously to the hot pan in the shape of the bread you're using, then slap the bread on top of the sizzling butter. Move the bread around to soak up any remaining butter to fry the edges of your pan-fried toast. Fry two pieces at once like this. After one side is done to your liking, flip over and immediately add cheese between the cooked sides of the bread slices. Pan fry the two remaining sides of bread same as before.

For the last few months, he hasn't been using white wine in his recipes, that's why it's an emotional moment for us when he used it in this video.

    If your grilled cheese has a fishy taste after grilling with mayo on the outside- its probably the oil that was used to make the mayo.
    Some cookies that used to have every few days started tasting a bit fishy - turns out they'd started using a different type of oil in the recipe - so it's definitely a possibility for why you have that fishy problem.

    I love my childhood grilled cheese & tomato soup. As an adult I occasionally will make one, the other or both. Since I don't make either on a regular basis I don't have a stock recipe. This ensures that each time I make either it's a new recipe (to draw from for the next time). My biggest "hit" with grilled cheese started with onion bread. Like you I smothered both sides with butter (homemade with dairy from a friends herd). I then lightly coated the inside of 1 slice with sour cream and the inside of the other slice with spicy mustard. Building the sandwich was a piece of romaine lettuce, a few thin slices of Campari tomatoes and the cheese - deli white american, gouda and havarti. My mother, wife, sister and my best friend loved it.

    Just got done making this with home grown tomatoes and onions and home made bread. Still the good ol' sliced American cheese though! Delicious!
