Directions

Make the Tomato Soup:

In a large pot over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add diced onion and sauté for 5–6 minutes.
Sprinkle in the sugar, stir, and continue cooking for 7–9 more minutes until onions are golden brown.
Add minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the tomatoes and cook for 5–6 minutes. Add chicken stock and balsamic vinegar.
Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth (remove the center cap of the lid to allow steam to escape).
Return the soup to the pot, stir in the cream, and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.

Make the Grilled Cheese:

In a large skillet over low heat, melt the butter.
Place brioche slices in the pan and toast one side for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
Flip the bread. Spread fig jam on the toasted side of two slices.
Top the jam with one slice each of cheddar, gouda, provolone, and prosciutto.
Cover with the remaining bread slices, toasted side down.
Cook for another 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, pressing lightly until golden and cheese is melted.
Slice and serve hot with a bowl of warm tomato soup.
