I made spiced tomato soup and grilled Philly Melts

Spiced Tomato Soup

I was craving soup and I saw this recipe on /r/Gif recipes for Spiced Tomato Soup (reddit,gtfcat,MOB's site) (LOCAL^[@rev])

I followed the soup recipe with some changes as noted below (nothing major)

Ingredient Changes:

Added peeled garlic with onions instead of unpeeled at the beginning
Broiled for an additional 2 min after everything was done
Light coconut milk
Better than bouillon instead of vegetable broth
Used the Rice Vinegar option
2 fresno chiles (they didn't say which kind and theirs looked bigger)

I was going to blend it in the vitamix so I let it simmer for 10 minutes, then I blended it, and then I let it simmer for a really long time (doing baby stuff and prepping other meals).

My other notes (after blending):

garlic and onion powder
more Better than Bouillon
Some soy sauce
Vinegar (as per the recipe, but eyeballed/to taste)

I didn't love it at first but I came to like it as I ate it more. It is pretty flavorful and kind of spicy. I liked the vinegar too. It added a nice bite.

Philly Melts

I do not know where we got this idea, but I made philly melts. I used Steak-Ums and made it two slices at a time (12 total for 4 sandwiches). I also used a bit too much oil on the pan with some onions but the end result was not too oily. We used havarti cheese since Meredith doesn't like provolone.

I did let Meredith do the grilling since I tend to burn them (and myself^[@rev]). They weren't as good as I had hoped. I think they needed some more salt in the filling.

Also, I planned three slices per sandwich but it was too much and there was some leftover steak.
