40 min

6 servings

Grilled cheese and tomato soup—name a more iconic duo, we’ll wait. Now, not to mess with a classic, but why not skip all the grilling, flipping, and dunking, and get right to the good stuff? Pour tomato soup over assembled sammies and bake ‘em for some hands-off prep. It’s a lunchtime win for kids and a trip down nostalgia lane for the young at heart.
