Grilled cheese, by itself, can be a satisfying and filling meal. When combined with a warm cup of tomato soup, however, it turns into something fantastic. Fortunately, knowing how cook grilled cheese and tomato soup -- even in your residence hall -- is easier than you might think.
Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup
Ingredients:
Bread (cheap option is sliced, basic white or wheat bread; fancier option is loaf of something freshly baked, like sourdough)
Cheese (cheap option is Kraft Singles or basic cheddar; fancier option is a wedge of Gruyere)
Can of tomato soup (cheap option is Campbell's Tomato Soup; fancier option is Wolfgang Puck's Country Tomato with Basil)
Optional ingredients:
Tomato - can be sliced and put on sandwich or chopped and added to soup
Bacon - can be great on sandwich
Directions:
Put two slices of bread (for each sandwich that you want to make) into a pan. Put a little bit of cheese on top of each.
Keep the burner high enough so that the bread is warming and the cheese is melting, but not so hot that the bread is burning and the cheese is still cold.
Once cheese starts to get a little gooey, put slices together (with cheese sides touching each other) and cook one side at a time until cheese is all melted. If applicable, put optional ingredients into sandwiches before combining sides.
While sandwiches are cooking, heat up can of soup in a microwave our small saucepan. If using a microwave, cover bowl with a paper towel so that the soup won't splatter all over.
Tools needed:
Pan, can opener, bowl, knife, spoon.
