I have so much to write to you about. I’m really back logged. There is no lack of food or stories to share with you, just time to write and post them. And then there are some recipes that I really want to get to you now because they are cold weather dishes that are so yummy and while we still have it, before Spring descends upon us, I think you should have them available. But now I want to tell you about our lunch today. Our son Zach, with help from his lovely girlfriend, Agata, made it. Just look at this photo of chunky tomato soup and a two cheese (sharp cheddar and provolone) grilled cheese sandwich. This was so yummy!!! And this was something he wanted to make completely by himself with not a comment or an ounce of help from me. Of course I had to blow it and offer my two cents here and there and I was shooed out of the kitchen – he wanted no part of my advice as well as he should. He doesn’t need me, sad as I think it is, he is more than capable in the kitchen and for that I am so grateful. He never looked at a recipe. I did, before we went to the grocery store together. But he had his own ideas – damn good ones at that!
His tomato soup had onions, celery, (3 stalks), carrots, thyme, red pepper flakes and homemade chicken stock.
It was divine.

Isn’t tomato soup and grilled cheese something mothers make for their kids when they’re sick? Your son has started a new tradition!
I didn’t think of it that way but you’re right!!
In our house….Tomato soup with a grilled cheese sandwich is a classic-standard. Just had it last week! Your soup looks delicious.
Thanks!! 🙂
Now my mediocre tomato soup with a handful of cheese croutons is really mediocre.
Awww – come on – this was easy to make!
Grilled cheese and tomato soup-my favorite comfort food supper!

One of my favorite lunch or dinner pairings….brings back great memories!!
That’s the thing – great food is not just about taste but about memories – filled with love.
Classic comfort lunch food!
Yep! 🙂
– Hah! Doubt if I would dare to shoo you out of your kitchen.
– Both soup and sandwich are made for each other. Having said that, I’ve never bothered to make a tomato soup before. Must!
Hey – me either – (made tomato soup)! It was easy and so delicious!!
