• In a large stock pot, melt butter or margarine over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and onions, and cook and stir for about 8 minutes.
• Slowly stir in flour and sugar. Add beef stock, basil, rosemary, and thyme, stirring until soup comes to a boil. Add the contents of the baked tomato pan from the oven, and bring to a boil. Cover, and simmer the soup for about 30 minutes.

CREAMY TOMATO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat a 3-quart Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and the carrots, celery, onion and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir with a wooden spoon and cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Add the cherry tomatoes and chicken stock and stir to combine. Nestle the Parmesan rind and basil in the soup and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook, stirring often to prevent the rind from sticking to the bottom of the pan, for about 25 minutes.
• Remove the basil and Parmesan rind and discard. Stir in the mascarpone, the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Puree the soup until smooth with a stick blender. Serve topped with crumbled bacon.

GOOD OLD-FASHIONED AMERICAN GRILLED CHEESE AND TOMATO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-low heat. Place 5 slices* of cheese in between two slices of bread (two on each side and one in the middle). Spread about 1 tablespoon butter on each exterior side of the bread. Remember, crust-to-crust is a must. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Place the first side in the pan (cooking in batches if necessary) and "dome" with an inverted large metal bowl or pan lid to create the proper vortex of heat. Cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and continue to cook until the cheese is gooey and bread is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes more.
• Cut, slowly separate and watch as the cascade of gooey good ol' American cheese catches the sunlight streaming through the kitchen window and throws a glow of warm orange light throughout your entire house. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches. Serve with the Tomato Soup.
• *I know this sounds excessive, but it ensures the most possible ooey-gooeyness. If you're watching the intake, you can scale back to 3 slices.
• Heat a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat. Add the butter, onions, carrots, celery, chile flakes and a couple pinches of salt and pepper. Sauté until translucent, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for an additional minute. Deglaze with the sherry while scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the tomatoes, bay leaves and stock. Simmer until everything is cooked through and very tender, about 1 hour.
• Discard the bay leaves and blend the soup until completely smooth and uniform in texture using an immersion blender. Add the heavy cream and adjust the seasoning. Serve!
