Instructions
Prepare the Tomato Soup:
-
In a small saucepan, heat the canned tomato soup over medium heat. Stir in the milk or cream and let it simmer gently for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the soup is too acidic, add a pinch of sugar to balance the flavors. Keep warm on low heat while you prepare the grilled cheese.
Assemble the Grilled Cheese:
-
Place a slice of cheese between the two slices of bread to form a sandwich. Spread softened butter on the outsides of the bread slices.
Cook the Grilled Cheese:
-
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Serve:
-
Once the grilled cheese is cooked to your liking, remove it from the skillet and cut it in half diagonally. Serve the grilled cheese alongside the warm tomato soup in a bowl.
Enjoy:
-
Dip the grilled cheese into the creamy tomato soup and savor the comforting flavors of this classic combination.
Note
- Feel free to customize your grilled cheese by adding sliced tomatoes, cooked bacon, or caramelized onions.
- For a quicker option, you can use store-bought tomato soup instead of making it from scratch.
- Adjust the amount of cheese and butter according to your preference.
- This meal is best enjoyed during colder months but is comforting any time of the year.
