06 - 4 slices sourdough bread
07 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
02 - Add whole peeled tomatoes with juice and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
03 - Use an immersion blender or carefully transfer soup to a blender and blend until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Keep warm over low heat.
04 - Spread softened butter on one side of each bread slice. Place cheddar cheese slices between two bread slices, buttered sides facing out, forming two sandwiches.
05 - Heat a skillet over medium heat. Grill each sandwich for 2 to 3 minutes per side until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted.
06 - Cut grilled cheese sandwiches into strips or cubes to facilitate dipping.
07 - Ladle hot tomato soup into bowls and serve with grilled cheese pieces alongside for dipping.
