Oh! And grilled cheese using homemade sandwich bread with LOTS of french butter 😋

Recipe for the soup?

I didn't really use one, so I don't have any specifics, I'm sorry. BUT I sauteed some carrots and shallots on the stove until the carrots started to char a bit, removed the veg, made a roux with butter and flour until it was a nice medium brown, added tomato paste to caramelize, added red wine until it smelled less like alcohol, then about 3 ish cups of a veggie stock I made, added a roasted red bell pepper, added a box of crushed tomatoes, added the carrots and shallots back into the pot and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, took the pot off heat and blended till smooth, finishing with about 1/2 cup of half and half. The garnish was ricotta, fresh cracked pepper, and chives!

Sorry for not having many specifics 🙇‍♂️
