While I was at a work dinner last night, my boyfriend made a cold weather classic combo for his dinner—grilled cheese and tomato soup.
Today, just after noon, he looked in the fridge to figure out what he’d make for lunch. I heard him rummaging around in the kitchen and then he came in my office with the container of leftover soup to make an announcement…
“I’m going to take the soup and put it IN the grilled cheese—a tomato soup-infused grilled cheese,” he said, beaming.
I gave my full support for this idea and watched as he coated the slices of rustic wheat bread with a hearty smear of tomato soup, added shredded mozz, white cheddar and Monterey Jack. Then, he dusted the exterior of the sandwich with shredded parm and popped it on the panini maker.
A minute and a half later he had a gooey, melty sandwich with a creamy zing of tomato and a nutty, crispy parm finish. No, it’s not groundbreaking. It’s simple and it was delicious, so I was eager to share with all of you.
How do you prefer your grilled cheese?
