- Wrap garlic cloves in foil with an extra drizzle of olive oil then place alongside tomatoes.
- Roast for 1 hour, or until tomatoes are golden brown and very tender. Cool slightly.

- Pour mixture into a large soup pot then add dried thyme, red pepper flakes, and broth then bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
- Butter one side of each bread slice, then place cheese slices on the non-buttered side.

- Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes. Cut sandwiches into cubes then divide among bowls of soup.
