Some Americans. I didn't grow up eating the two
together; it was one or the other for lunch.

I think that image was a Campbell's soup company invention. Grilled
cheese with tomato soup was not the norm in my home as a child, either.

The combo is an old comfort meal to me. Dip those grilled cheese
sandwiches into the tomato soup. Pretty good.

Yes, I can see eating it for lunch. I use only one slice for my breakfast
and that is more than enough for me

I am not American and I grew up on grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato
soup.

You might be across the boarder, but we're (virtually) from the same

I ate them separately, but I also ate them together. I think they are
perfect partners for lunch. For two people: split the sandwich and
have a cup of tomato soup each.

Remember though I am only using one slice of bread and even that is a bit
too much

Also I didn't point out that I don't often eat breakfast so it is not an
everyday thing. But anyway, when and if I do make it, I love it)

I still can't imagine eating it for breakfast. Not my cup o tea.

As you know, making tomato soup the way you like it is dirt easy. Start
with a can of tomatoes. Salt, a little sugar to squelch the bite and
whatever else one thinks they'd like. Then a wand blender. Let's make a
bisque and add cream. I make tomato soup like Campbell's used to.
Anyone can easily do it and probably even better than Campbell's did
with little work.
Add a grilled cheese sandwich and I'm back in the sixties. I eat Kraft

Nice method. I use a can of puree, and always sautéed minced onions
(and sometimes garlic). If it needs to be thinned, a little chicken
broth. No sugar for me; that's what I hate about canned soup. That,
and the fact that's it's always cooked to death.

I think the cooked to death part is what turns me off. Canned tomato
soup doesn't even taste like tomato to me.

I agree about making tomato soup yourself and that canned tomatoes
make a wonderful soup. However I draw the line at sugar. This recipe
is an excellent starting point. Do whatever you want, but it's
delicious if you just follow the recipe.

Tomato Basil Soup
http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/tomato-basil-soup-2

Cooking Light JANUARY 2002
4 servings (serving size: 1 1/2 cups)

Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 (14.5-ounce) cans no-salt- added diced tomatoes, undrained
2 cups fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced Basil leaves (optional)

Preparation

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic; cook 30
seconds, stirring constantly. Stir in the broth, salt, and tomatoes;
bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 20 minutes. Stir in basil.

Place half of the soup in a blender (or use a wand in the pot);
process until smooth. Pour pureed soup into a bowl, and repeat
procedure with remaining soup. Garnish with basil leaves, if desired.

I finished up my tomato soup last night with 2 more grilled
cheese sandwiches.
2 kinds of cheese and a nice slice of tomato. S&P

If you make grilled cheese sandwiches as I do. remember there are many
other such sandwiches - most any lunch meat and cheese. Like ham or
braunsweiger (sp?) (I call it liver sausage!) and I prefer Velveeta or
its generic for grilling.

cheddar

Probably. Many here don't like it either. Cheddar works just fine. I love
real sharp cheddar too.

Just so you know, Oph... that "plastic cheese" aka American Cheese

But what about the texture?

Smooth, not greasy the way sharp cheddar melts.

I will agree that it is somewhat the same colour.

Not trying to mislead. Here's my story:

I always have and use extra sharp cheddar. Nothing like the cheese
product.
I wasn't talking about texture but I will guess (TM Dsi1) that the
texture would probably be about the same in a MELTED grilled cheese
sandwich.

My comment was about taste. I have a recipe that calls for
"Old English Cheese." I've always used it and the recipe is good.
The last time I bought some, I decided to taste it plain out of the
jar. With the name, I expected some unique taste. Not so. To my
dismay, it tasted just like the sliced american cheese product
and costs at least twice the amount of money.

So I looked at the ingredients and saw it's real cheddar cheese just
watered down into a spread.

Next time I make that recipe, I could add 5oz of the fake cheese and
nobody would notice the difference.

And that's why I said it tastes like mild cheddar cheese.

A jar??? I've never had cheese out of a jar! When I have cheddar, I have a
block of cheese!

I either slice it or grate it.

Process cheese came into being during the American depression. It was cheaper than regular cheese. My guess it's because surplus milk could be converted into this stuff and it would keep longer. I believe that it was process cheese that made the grilled cheese sandwich possible. When I was growing up the idea of using real cheese to make a grilled sandwich was not a consideration.

These days process cheese is viewed with suspicion and disgust and using real cheese in these sandwiches is a popular idea. Heck, even I am beginning to see the light.

I can certainly understand your reluctance to try a sandwich made from American cheese. You pretty much have to be raised on the stuff to have the slightest appreciation of this material
