How it goes

  1. Roast Soup: Preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F). Toss the halved tomatoes, sliced fennel bulb, sliced red onion, halved garlic, 2 tbsp olive oil, a pinch of chilli and black pepper on a baking tray. Roast for 15–20 minutes, stirring once, until the vegetables are caramelized.

  2. Blend Soup: Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender. Add 1 l chicken stock, the drained white beans, and blend until smooth.

  3. Simmer Soup: Return the blended soup to a pot, bring to a gentle simmer, then season with salt to taste, 1 tbsp sherry vinegar, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp lemon zest, 1 tbsp lemon oil, 1 tsp fennel seeds and an extra pinch of chilli if desired.

  4. Prepare Toasties: Butter the outer sides of each thick‑cut sourdough slice. On the inner side of each slice, evenly layer shredded cheddar, shredded mozzarella, chopped sun‑dried tomatoes, a dash of Worcestershire sauce and a sprinkle of black pepper.

  5. Cook Toasties: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled toasties butter‑side down and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip, add a splash of water, cover, and steam for 2–3 minutes until the cheese melts.

  6. Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls, garnish with a drizzle of lemon oil and a few fennel seeds, and serve alongside the melted cheese toasties.

How this comparison works.

Every recipe here comes from a creator’s own video. ReelsMeals writes it down from the caption and the voiceover, and publishes it with the creator named and the original linked. When three or more versions of a dish from at least two creators are saved, the dish gets a page like this one. Reposts and the same video saved twice count once.

Times and servings come from the saved recipe cards and may be estimated. Ingredient names are matched loosely, so chicken thighs and chicken legs both count as chicken. We don’t rank them by taste: the version shown first is the one ReelsMeals cooks have saved most. Last updated 27 October 2026.
