Though making grilled cheese roll-ups may look and sound complicated, it isn't — and the results of your labor will produce a meal that is as fun to eat as it is good to savor. One of the best parts of this food combination is the simple act of dipping the grilled cheese into the soup. Plus, the crunch you get from each bite makes that experience even more enjoyable.
After you've prepared your tomato soup recipe, use a rolling pin to flatten bread into malleable pieces about a quarter-inch in thickness (via Delish). Next, place your choice of cheese onto the bread, roll up the cheesy squares, and cook them in butter over medium heat in a nonstick skillet. The aim is for the bread to be golden and the cheese to be oozy and melty: Watch the bread pieces carefully to toast each one to perfection. When served alongside soup, these cheesy dippers may look like special-ordered bread sticks. You can watch with satisfaction as guests delightedly dunk the pieces into their bowls.
