Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup for Dinner

On this cold rainy day I decided to fix a grilled cheese and tomato soup. It is a wonderful combination. And with such a chill in the air, the soup should do the trick. We had this a lot growing up and my Mom always used thick red rind cheddar cheese. It was so good on her homemade bread. I will settle for plain bread and cheddar. Any dinner plans out there? Do you like red rind cheese? Wisegeek photo.

I love grilled cheese sandwiches, but can't make bread.

I have a bread maker. That's cheating but it works.

@CarolDM Are they easy to use? I don't do yeast.

@1creekgirl Yes, mine has a small lid on the top and you pour the yeast at the beginning. Easy peasy.

We use to have that a lot growing up too. It is a great comfort food. I have never had red rind cheese.

Apparently that is another word used for this cheese, I wasn't familiar with.

@CarolDM I've heard of cheddar, but not red-rind cheddar. Edam (or as I knew it growing up "Edamer") cheese comes from the Netherlands (as did my parents).

That seems a very healthy meal. Always good to eat light before getting to bed.

I like the Edam cheese from Netherlands, I tend to play with the red rind. I made fish fillets with zucchini and potatoes for dinner.

My mother always made that comfort food for us growing up, Since hubs doesn't care for tomato soup, we have split pea soup instead. I've had cheeses with red rinds, but never cheddar.

I do love tomato soup with grill cheese! I use plain American cheese though, such as Kraft.

We had frozen burritos, cauliflower and glorified rice. Your grilled cheese and tomato soup sounds good. I like tomato basil soup.

Grilled cheese and tomato soup are one of my favorite foods! My dad made the best grilled cheese when I lived home. I use regular bread and processed cheese which really isn't very healthy at all but tastes so yummy. I don't think I have ever had the kind of cheese you mentioned red rind.

Looks like my comment disappeared. I was telling you there are different kinds of this cheese, one called hoop cheese. You can find it in the meat section usually, cut up in large wedges.

I like all cheese. But I don't like tomato soup. Can I replace it with...um...(not in the mood for chicken)...(broccoli cheese is redundant)...miso soup in my fantasies?
