Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and some olive oil in a pot.

Add 1 diced onion and 2 finely diced large carrots; cook until softened, about 7 to 10 minutes.

Add salt, pepper, dried basil, and crushed red pepper; cook for 1 minute to warm the spices.

Add 56 oz of whole tomatoes and 2 cups of chicken stock; let simmer for about 30 minutes.

Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream, some Parmesan cheese, and fresh basil; simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

Use a stick blender to puree the soup until smooth, or transfer to a blender carefully due to heat.

In a bowl, mix 6 tablespoons of softened butter with Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, and a sprinkle of salt until combined.

Slice King's Hawaiian slider rolls into thirds and assemble sandwiches with mozzarella cheese.

Brush the garlic butter mixture on both sides of the bread.

Preheat the oven to 350°F and place the sandwiches on a parchment-lined baking sheet; bake for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Serve the soup topped with additional Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and crushed red pepper, alongside the grilled cheese dippers.
