ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups flour
  • 1 1/4 cups cornmeal
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cups milk
  • 3 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
  • SOUP
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1/2 large onion diced
  • 2 Tbsp dried basil
  • 1/2 Tbsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes
  • 1 26.46 oz Pomi Chopped Tomatoes container
  • 1 cup Pomi Strained Tomatoes
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream

instructions

  • In a large saucepan, heat 2 tsp olive oil over medium-high heat. When hot, add onion and cook until browned, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Add basil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, Pomi chopped tomatoes, Pomi strained tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer over medium-low heat. Simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and add to a blender. Puree until smooth. Add heavy cream and combine on low. Keep warm.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar and salt for the cornbread waffles. Add milk, vegetable oil and eggs, stirring until smooth.
  • Grease a waffle iron with cooking spray. Add 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup to your waffle iron, cooking until golden brown and cooked through. Once you’ve created at least 4 waffles, make the grilled cheese!
  • Add 1/2 cup of each type of cheese between two cornbread waffles to create a sandwich. Cook in an oiled skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown and the cheese is melted, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side. Cut into quarters. Repeat with the second set of waffles.
  • Serve one bowl of soup with two quarters of each cornbread grilled cheese. Garnish with fresh chopped basil as desired.
