GRILLED TOMATO SOUP WITH GRILLED CHEESE TOASTS
This charred tomato soup is the perfect way to say farewell to summer's last tomatoes while welcoming fall and the new school year. We love Havarti cheese for the toasts, because it melts so nicely, but you can try pepper Jack, Muenster or even American.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill for cooking over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates.
- Drizzle the cut-sides of the tomato halves with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place them on the grill cut-side down until they have very dark grill marks, about 8 minutes. Gently flip and grill on the skin-side to char, about 2 minutes. Lightly drizzle some olive oil on a sheet of aluminum foil. Arrange the onion rounds in one layer on the foil. Drizzle with a little more olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the foil sheet on the grill grates. Grill until the onions develop dark char on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Turn the grill down to medium for the grilled cheese toast.
- Heat the 1 tablespoon butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the grilled onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme; stir for about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and all their juices and mash down the tomatoes with a wooden spoon to break them up a bit. Add 2 cups water, 2 teaspoons salt and some more black pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, then turn down to a simmer and cook, about 15 minutes. Take the soup off the heat, and stir in the basil leaves. Very carefully puree the soup in a blender or with a handheld stick blender. When ready to serve, bring the soup back to a simmer, and add the heavy cream. Taste for seasoning. Add more salt, if necessary. If the tomatoes are too acidic, add a little sugar to taste.
- Meanwhile, make the grilled cheese toast: brush the melted butter on both sides of each bread slice. Place the slices on the grill; cook until nicely toasted on the underside, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip the bread and top each with 2 slices of cheese. Cover and cook to melt the cheese and toast the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Grind a little pepper on each cheese toast. Serve immediately with the soup.

Steps:
- Spread one side of each bread slice with the butter. Flip the slices and spread the other side with the spreadable cheese. Divide the cheddar cheese among 4 slices of the bread and sprinkle with garlic powder. Top with the tomato and cover each sandwich buttered side out with 1 of the remaining slices of bread.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the sandwiches, turning once and pressing down with a spatula to help melt the cheese, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve warm.

Steps:
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Oil grate. Toss kale with 2 Tbsp. oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a large bowl; set aside.
- Thread tomatoes onto skewers, then drizzle with oil; season lightly with salt.
- Grill tomato skewers, Halloumi, and lemon halves, turning skewers and cheese halfway through, until charred and softened, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a platter.
- Meanwhile, drizzle bread with oil; season lightly with salt. Grill until golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to platter. Rub one side of each slice with halved garlic clove.
- Grill kale, placing it crosswise across grate so it doesn't fall through the gaps and turning occasionally, until charred in places and softened throughout, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to platter alongside Halloumi, tomatoes, and bread.
- Push tomatoes off skewers. Squeeze charred lemon halves over Halloumi, tomatoes, kale, and bread. Drizzle with oil.
