Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). In a large baking dish, combine whole peeled tomatoes, chopped red onion, sliced garlic, olive oil, salt, sugar, chicken stock, tomato paste, and Chipotle chili. Roast in the oven for 1 to 1.25 hours.
2. In a food processor, blend butter, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard to create a spread for the grilled cheese.
3. Slice the white pan loaf bread thinly. Spread the butter-mayo-mustard mixture on both sides of the bread slices. Layer American cheese, Gruyere, Provolone, and more American cheese between the bread slices. Cook the sandwich in a non-stick pan until golden and crispy.
4. Blend the roasted tomato mixture until smooth, strain, and adjust consistency with chicken stock. Season with salt to taste.
5. Serve the tomato soup topped with chives, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper alongside the grilled cheese sandwich. Enjoy!
