One of our classic meals for a weekend in the mountains is simple and satisfying. Who can resist dunking a perfectly grilled buttery sandwich filled with stretchy Annato-stained cheese into a smooth, rich bowl of tomato soup? The key for maximum enjoyment lies in the canned tomatoes and the bread used. Read on to learn which brands yield the very best versions of grilled cheese in tomato soup.

The March 2008 issue of Taunton's Fine Cooking magazine focused on classic comfort foods ranging from macaroni & cheese and roasted chicken to silky tomato soups and chocolate ganache, and even how to make French bread at home. Each recipe gave some basic techniques and variations of sauces or toppings to customize the flavor. While my family voted thumbs down on Creamy Tomato Soup with Basil Coulis, and we developed our signature Mac & Cheese from another source, the Classic Tomato Soup from this issue was a keeper.
