In the hustle and bustle of this Christmas season, oftentimes lunches are "grab and go". But no fast food for us. Rather a simple and comforting lunch. A childhood favorite updated to our adult tastes.Cream of tomato soup and grilled cheese! Not canned Campbell's but rather (for speed) boxed Pacifico with the addition of roasted red peppers. We "jazz" it up a bit with real cream and there is always a box or two in the larder for those busy days when you definitely want a quick lunch!
The grilled cheese on wholegrain bread. Grilled to perfection.
Grilled cheese and cream of tomato soup is a match made in heaven, whether for those busy December days or the colder and snowier January ones. It's a great comforting lunch.

Nothing spells home better than grilled cheese and tomato soup! YUM
Martha......This is one of my favourite meals. Tomato soup and Grilled Cheese. But I still use Campbells Soup, reminds me of my childhood when we came in from ice skating and most times that was our lunch during the Christmas holidays when school was out.
thanks for sharing and the memories. :-)
I'm preparing tomato soup and grilled cheese sammies today for my grandchildren. This is everybody's favorite combo.
Oh yes, one of my favorite combinations. The other? Vegetable soup with PB&J and a cold glass of milk.
Ummmm. Yummy! Tomato soup has always been my favorite. When I was young, we moved overseas and they did not have canned (or boxed) soups available. (there were a lot of things that were not available, but that is another story.) I really missed my favorite tomato soup. But if I wanted to eat it, I was going to have to learn to make it from scratch. So when I was about 11 or 12 years old, my mom helped me find a recipe and gather the ingredients at the local street market. Then I set to in the kitchen and made the most marvelous tomato soup. It had a hint of cloves in it. The whole family loved it!!
