Everyone we know has a childhood winter-lunch memory of Tomato Soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. Warm yourself with a cup of soup (and a few memories) by whipping up a batch for yourself. Share with kids and grandkids to pay those fond memories forward. You can even experiment with what types of cheese you use in your sandwich to change the way you enjoy this homemade soup.
