Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup
grilled cheese and tomato soup create a quick, EASY meal any night of the week!
Growing up, grilled cheese and tomato soup was a mainstay on our menu. Usually we had this on Sundays, when it was busy before/after church. Or, if no plan had been made. I can see my mom at the counter, swiping mayo on each slice of bread, placing the cheese, topping it all off with softened butter. She could toast these sandwiches perfectly!
We even had this meal for CHRISTMAS lunch last December! Which was totally crazy — and, not my favorite — but, my darling grandparents sure loved it!
YES! Our tomato soup comes from a CAN! Gasp! Horrors!
GET OVER IT….! This is what I grew up with, and when I have *real* tomato soup, I do NOT like it. {{I’m also not a huge tomato fan in general, so the Campbell’s is a-okay with me!}}
Yes, that is AMERICAN cheese, y’all! Nothing fancy. Not one bit fancy. Okay, maybe if you count the wheatberry bread as fancy, we have one fancy point. 😉
This is how I like to eat mine…. The whole sammy in the soup. YUM!! Get ready for a comforting, easy weeknight meal of grilled cheese and tomato soup.
Do not judge these recipes — I can’t really even call them recipes!! They are so simple.
