Soup Night!

Well, last night was a meteorologist declared "Soup Night."

I love that. Fall's here. It's time for wonderful dinners that heat up your belly and give you the warm fuzzies. In my opinion, those are things like: Beef Burgundy, Mom's famous Chili, or my personal favorite, Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese Sandwiches -- which was last night's fare of choice.

* 1 can Campbells Tomato Soup
* 1 cup milk

Whisk milk into condensed soup, until blended. Heat over medium flame, until steaming hot.

* Buttered Bread
* American Cheese Slice (1 1/2 per sandwich)
* 2 slices crispy bacon per sandwich

Heat over medium flame until bread is golden brown and cheese melted.
Slice length wise with pizza cutter to make "Fun Strips!" for dipping!

(Wendy - please add your instructions for how to make multiple Grilled Cheese Sandwiches at once in the broiler. You're the genius who figured that one out while I bark at little girls to back away from the hot stove top!)

At any rate - scrumptious dinner, made fun for little girls by slicing the sandwiches into strips, using a pizza cutter. EXCELLENT for dipping.

Would Rachel eat her fun, dipping tomato soup and grilled cheese? NO. Did Ellie? ABSOLUTELY. She all but licked the bottom of the bowl.

So, now the question of the day is: How to avoid being a short order cook for your kids?
