Can you remember eating grilled cheese and tomato soup when you were a child? It just says comfort and warmth doesn’t it. Children today still love this tasty lunch and with this recipe they can make it all on their own. Shredded cheese can be used in place of the cheese cubes and for a special treat add fish shaped crackers instead of the croutons.
