PB sandwich, tomato soup, and a kosher dill.

It’s a Top 5 Sandwich, for sure.

My dad put mayo on the grilled cheese. Poor guy, us kids gave him such a hard time.

Or as I like to call it...a deconstructed pizza.

I’ve lived thru a fucked up version. Velvetta and what I think was ketchup in hot water. I’m scarred for life

literally making this tonight

Oh my child ! Haven't had much practice fucking things up with fire, I guess

BLT and a chocolate malt rates a close second. 😇

Oh, one of my all-time favorite comfort meals!!!

Same. That's why I only make grilled cheese (and soup) for myself. My whole family can cook way better than I can.

burp

The friday school lunch of the midwest back in the day when meat was still off limits on Fridays.

This is the way

My favorite school lunch growing up in 1960s Minnesota

I love that meal. I put diced pan fried shallots in the soup sometimes. And basil on the grilled cheese. Not done that for ages - gonna make that this week one day now!

Makes a great winter breakfast too.

School was a few blocks away, every Friday Mom would make grilled cheese sandwich and Campbell cream of tomato soup, Oops,, forgot the jumbo glass of milk

Very true. I refuse to eat American “cheese,” (I grew up on ONLY this as ‘cheese’) but I’ll still open a can of Campbell’s Tomato Soup.

Yes! A classic among classics! I like to throw a few Fritos in my soup for crunch.

Tomato soup and grilled cheese with a side of Fritos.

sometimes i even burn the grilled cheexe but its still good 👍

Reading everybody's good memories and new thoughts on what must be a classic American meal ... It was a warm fuzzy moment. Thx everybody!

Yes

I could never make gravy. 🖖

Misread it as “unfuckable”

Gordon Ramsey would throw that bowl of soup against a wall

I've never seen a rare grilled cheese before

Yeah, that one looks a little rough. It’s also one of these meals where having the most basic ass white bread and Kraft American cheese and condensed tomato soup is as good if not better than a lot of attempts to elevate it. Some of that is almost certainly nostalgia/sense memory, of course.

How is the cheese melted but the bread uncooked

“I’ll have a grilled cheese, easy on the grilled, and a bowl of hot flavored water.”

Oh ruh roh

It's like they have fried potato Tourette's 😂 This may be a trauma response, be careful!

Clearly not. It's offensive, yet easily overlooked on account of how badly they fucked up what you did order.

"The sandwich is uninspiring. Like hotel room art it tantalizes us with the potential of human creativity only to highlight the banality of the modern consumer experience. The soup lies contemptuously in its bowl, merely an echo of its inspiration—only suitable to be consumed without thought."

it did cost $43. that was not, unfortunately, the joke.

Runny canned soup, krinkle fries, poorly toasted/grilled cheese. That’s why most people don’t eat airport food.

Oh dear.

never has a photo of a comfort meal filled me with so much dread

be thankful you've lived a charmed life. so far.

Chef Mike has no flattop I see.

there is no grill on this cheese

"Alright french fries, listen up. This big thing I'm holding you near is a fryer. Aaaaand - plated."

and apparently grill marks are not considered cute

love too make grilled cheese in an unplugged toaster

I really, really don’t like tomato soup. But grilled cheese with potato soup is pretty great.

On sourdough bread!

😳

*scoff Milk.

At first glance I thought you wrote "most unfuckable combo" and I was going to vehemently disagree.

Hold my beer… Did you know? Campbell’s now makes a Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup..Soup. No sandwich just soup that tastes like the sandwich and soup

yes it is I loved having it after shoveling my parents driveway at -20F

What a waste of tomato soup. Tofu would improve any “grilled cheese” I ever saw.

Well sine people make the odd choice to out bologna in their grilled cheese or some other weirdness. If anything that is a melt, not a grilled cheese. Oh then there's that Gordon Ramsey grilled cheese lol

This is the only allowable meal when you’re sick.

How did you get my mother's secret recipe?!

Only once I worked out the time I should use to make grilled cheese in the air fryer. I can screw up grilled cheese in a pan on the stovetop every time. Usually managing to burn the bread while still not melting the cheese.

It always looks so good, and I always feel left out because I don't like grilled cheese or tomato soup. But that does look comfortingly amazing, and I hope you enjoyed it immensely.

I often have it.

I have a vague memory of there being a branding campaign with tv ads for this combo in maybe the late 80s, so like kindergarten for me, or maybe a little later, and they called it the Super Combo 😂

Me sticks feet in soup: I FUCKED IT UP!!!!😭😭😭

Made a toasted cheese (swiss&cheddar),roasted chicken breast and homegrown beefsteak sandwich. OMG!😳 that was a first of many 🤗

My parents had Cream of Potato soup. I couldn't stand it.

Agree!

My husband has been making new recipes in our bread maker, so yesterday we had grilled cheese on homemade Parmesan basil bread. It was a holy experience.

And I like those little oyster crackers in the soup!

I had it last night with naan sandwich rounds for the bread because of discount basket. (no photo sorry) It's really a pinnacle of simple, quick, and good though.

While a grilled tomato and cheese soup is a distant second
