There is something so comforting about a big bowl of tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. Crisp bread filled with gooey aged cheddar that's dipped into piping hot soup. It's so simple and yet so perfect.
For lunch on the weekend I wanted something quick so I settled for a can of Campbells tomato soup spiked with 1 tbsp of basil and a dash each of garlic and onion powder. The sandwiches were black forest ham layered with aged cheddar and a sweet cranberry mustard. To finish it off a sprinkle of asiago cheese on the soup and voila!
There's not much else you can say about it but...yum.
Those sandwiches look very tasty. You just gave me a good idea. Soup and a sandwich! what a perfect lunch.

I love tomato soup but have never though of the grill cheese/soup combo. Sounds like a perfect fall day lunch. Can't wait to try it in a couple monnths.
Cheers from New York!

Hi Monica. The two are fantastic together and once you've tried it you'll never have it any other way.

You've hit the quintessential comfort lunch exactly with this combination! We didn't have the ham in the sandwiches as kids, but I like to make them that way now. I also like to float a little fresh basil on the soup, but that's edging into fancy-town and away from the simple delight...

Hi Dawna! I agree fresh basil would be a nice touch. For next time...
