Soup

In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until garlic is fragrant and light golden, about 1 minute.

Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute more. Add broth, pumpkin puree, Parmesan, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until soup is slightly thickened and flavors are melded, about 5 minutes. Stir in cream.

Grilled Cheese Sticks

Using a rolling pin, roll bread into flat, 1/4"-thick squares. Place 1 slice cheese on each piece of bread and tightly roll up.

In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt butter, swirling to coat bottom of pan. Working in batches, add sticks to skillet seam side down and cook, turning often, until bread is golden and cheese is melty, about 3 minutes.

Ladle soup into bowls. Drizzle with cream and sprinkle with basil. Serve with grilled cheese sticks alongside.
