Tomato Soup ( and grilled cheese )

Growing up in Canada I always remember coming home for lunch to hot tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. We needed that hot nourishing fodder to battle the harsh icy cold winters. The crisp yet gooey grilled cheese was scrummy to dip into the piping hot soup- the perfect combination.
