Grilled Cheese and Soup

What You Need

Bread (just your regular sandwich variety)
Cheese (my favorites are Havarti, Velveta, or Sharp Cheddar, but American would work just fine too)
Canned Soup (I love tomato, Chris loves bean with bacon)
Milk
Butter

Directions

Spread butter on one side of bread, place in warmed skillet and top with 2 slices of cheese and bread that is buttered on one side. Cook for around 3 minutes, until golden brown, then flip over and cook on other side till golden brown. Repeat with other sandwiches. I find I can usually do 2 sandwiches at a time with our skillet. While sandwiches are cooking start warming your soup in a medium sauce pan. Use 1 can of soup then use the can to measure out half a can of milk (go for fat free!). Stir occasionally until soup starts to boil. Serve sandwiches with a bowl of soup on the side.

For a yummy variation try placing 1-2 slices of ham, or a couple slices of bacon in the sandwiches before cooking. You could also make little sandwiches by getting a small loaf of bread, you find them over by the deli in your local supermarket.

You could also make your own homemade soup with a quart of veggie juice, 3 cans fire roasted tomatoes, 1 jar roasted red peppers, and some veggies (carrots, onions, leeks, ect.) and seasoned with salt, pepper, and a touch of garlic and basil. Cook ingredients till soft, then blend together and let simmer for 5-10 minutes more.
