Additional Tips to Enhance Flavor

  • Use fresh basil if you can—dried just doesn’t hit the same.
  • Add a dash of smoked paprika to the soup for a subtle smoky twist.
  • Swap bread for gluten-free if you’re feeling rebellious.
  • Try nutritional yeast sprinkled on the grilled cheese for extra cheesy vibes.
