Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Additional cheddar cheese for topping (optional)

How to Make Cheesy Biscuit Sandwiches with Tomato Soup

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the cubed butter and mix with your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and fresh parsley (if using). Add the milk gradually, mixing until a soft dough forms.
4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently for about 30 seconds. Roll or pat the dough to about 1-inch thickness, then cut out biscuits using a round cutter.
5. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. If desired, sprinkle extra cheddar cheese on top during the last 5 minutes of baking.
6. While the biscuits are baking, prepare the tomato soup. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
7. Add the crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, dried basil, and sugar to the pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
8. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the soup until smooth. Return the soup to the pot and heat through, adjusting seasoning if necessary.
9. Once the biscuits are done baking, slice them in half and fill them with your choice of cheese or enjoy them as is. Serve warm with the creamy tomato soup on the side for dipping.

Tips for the Best Results

Use cold butter to ensure your biscuits are flaky. Don’t overwork the dough; a light touch will yield the best texture. For a richer soup, consider adding a splash of heavy cream just before serving.

Easy Variations

• Add cooked bacon or ham to the biscuit sandwiches for extra flavor.
• Try different cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack for a twist.
• Incorporate herbs like thyme or oregano into the soup for added depth.
• Make it a vegetarian dish by using vegetable broth and adding your favorite veggies.

What to Serve With It

• A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette.
• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
• Crispy bacon or sausage links for a heartier meal.
• Herbed butter to spread on the biscuits.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. The soup can be refrigerated for up to a week. Reheat the soup on the stove over low heat, and for the biscuits, pop them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for a few minutes to refresh.
