Our dinner tonight....

[Guest guest]

Well, we wished it were a little colder, but both of us agreed that tomato

soup and grilled cheese sandwiches were what we needed tonight. Instead of

opening the can for the soup, I tried this recipe. It turned out very well,

and even though it's not Campbell's it's very good. I added some extra

molasses (I like to add molasses to tomato based stuff) and used Neufatchel

(however it's spelled) cheese instead of the full fat. I also forgot to add

the mustard to our grilled cheese sandwiches, no matter...it was still

wonderful! This recipe actually has 3 variations, a really rich one, this

less rich one, and one that is fat-free.
