I have always loved the combination of tomato soup and grilled cheese, so this soup idea seemed like a no brainer. Infact, had I added croutons, the ingredients would have been exactly the same as a sandwhich and soup. I wanted to avoid the calories of croutons, so I stuck with the cheesy tomato soup. It was easy to make, and the cheese could really vary or be a combination of swiss, cheddar and mozarella. I had cheddar cheese, so that is what I used. The soup contained cheese obviously which provided protein and the tomatoes which provided lycopenes and many other nutrients including vitamin C.
