Meal No. 3534: Cream of Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

National Homemade Soup Day was last Sunday, and I celebrated with one of my all-time favorites: ultimate cream of tomato soup, along with grilled cheese sandwiches on homemade peasant bread.

Roasted tomatoes are the centerpiece of this pot of goodness, but when the peasant bread comes out very nearly perfect, one might find the sandwiches to be more centerstage than the soup.

And let's not overlook how nice it is to still have peasant bread to help out the late afternoon hungries (as happened last Tuesday), when nice thin slices are turned into cinnamon toast:
