Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup

Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup
Serves 2

Serve with Barone Fini Pinot Grigio

A crispy white wine to marry the tomato soup’s acidity may be the key to my heart.

4 slices of bread
4 slices Swiss cheese
4 slices gruyere cheese
Extra virgin olive oil

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and glug in a few tablespoons of olive oil.

Divide and sandwich the bread between slices and cook, allowing to crispy the bread and melt the cheese before flipping and repeating. Serve with tomato soup.

Serve with below or your favorite tomato soup.
