There are few foods that I enjoy more on a chilly autumn evening than grilled cheese and tomato soup. The best part about it all is that it is also very economical to make. Even those that are completely inept in the kitchen can combine these limited ingredients and simple instructions on how to make a great chilled cheese.
Ingredients
2 slices Cheddar, American, or Swiss cheese
2 slices white bread
2 tablespoons butter
Directions
Put the cheese between the slices of bread. Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a skillet or grill and when melted add the sandwich. Gently press down with a spatula once or twice during the grilling. When one side is golden, add the remaining tablespoon of butter, turn the sandwich over, and brown.
For tomato soup just heat using the instructions on the can of whichever brand you decide to use
