I think many of us have had the comfort combo of grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup, especially when we were kids. Well I know I did. When we watch the movie Chef I am always drawn to the ridiculously lovely grilled cheese Carl Casper prepares for his son.
For this one I used Muenster, Swiss and gouda. The bread is Martin's potato bread.
I added the fresh Parmesan after it started grilling, sprinkling a bit on top before I added the other piece of bread.
Both are very good but the sourdough did hold up better. Continuing to explore more combinations, probably to the detriment of my cholesterol levels.
If you haven't seen this movie, and if you like foodie movies I suggest you do, there is a plethora of food inspiration. I have made the Pasta Aglio E Olio and it came out well.
Sharing with Deb at Kahakai Kitchen for Souper Sunday
A grilled cheese sandwich sounds really good right now and I love that movie. Thanks for sharing with Souper Sundays this week.
ReplyDeleteDeb, it's always fun joining in with Souper Sunday!
DeleteI love grilled cheese but I have never liked tomato soup.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the movie and since I'm not working today I'll watch it.
Vicki, I hope you like the movie, it's one of our favorites.
DeleteI've loved grilled cheese since I was a kid but not tomato soup. Every few weekends I'd go to with my mom & dad's best friends kids to their grandparents house and she'd make us grilled cheese and tomato soup. I ate it because she made it for us but didn't like it at all. Glad my mom and dad never made us eat anything we didn't like. If she made something they liked, like liver and onions, and we didn't like it she'd make us something else.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen that movie so I added it to my list.
Vicki, wow, you really do hate tomato soup!
DeleteIt's just about lunchtime and my mouth is watering! I don't have the variety of cheeses right now, but even a "regular" grilled cheese would be welcome...
ReplyDeleteJoAnn, if you use more than 2 cheeses you'll need a hardy bread. The sourdough works very well!
DeleteOh, yum! I know what I'm fixing for dinner tomorrow night! (Tonight we're going out to celebrate my birthday.)
ReplyDeleteLes, happy birthday early! xo
DeleteSo many ways to make grilled cheese sandwiches! I love to add a tomato slice.
ReplyDeletebest... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Mae, I like tomatoes on sandwiches so that would be a good addition.
DeleteI love grilled cheese and tomato soup though it's been forever since I've had either and especially as a combo. The 2nd sandwich sounds especially amazing!
ReplyDeleteKatherine, the second one is The One. Sourdough makes a huge difference!
DeleteMmmm I know what I'm having for breakfast today....I wish we had some sourdough in the house but all we have is some thin, Killer Dave's multigrain bread. And I think the only cheese we have is Monterey Jack, Cheddar, and Velveeta. Not as gourmet as I would like, but I do love me a Velveeta grilled cheese. LOL That one you made on sourdough would also be the perfect combo for a tuna melt with avocado.
ReplyDeleteI love tomato soup but it has to be the creamy kind...more like tomato bisque I guess. We have a little cafe at our Town Center that makes the perfect tomato bisque with basil.
I saw the movie Chef in the theater and loved it.
I will now click on that pasta recipe link and see what THAT is all about!
Jonger, try it with Dave's bread anyway, I bet it's good.
DeleteOk, now I'm hungry!
ReplyDeleteBRF - this is easy to toss together :-)
