Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup

Classic!!  I make my Campbell's Tomato Soup with about a cup of skim milk to make it creamier (than water at least!) ;).  I adapted a grilled cheese that just uses pam cooking spray instead of butter.  It may be a drier grilled cheese, but who's counting when you're dipping it into your tomato soup!!! Heaven!

Tomato Soup:
1 can of Campbell's Tomato Soup
1 can of skim milk (or about 1 cup)

Mix together on medium heat in a saucepan until hot!

Grilled Cheese:
2 slices of honey wheat bread (or other low cal and/or high fiber bread)
1 slice of Borden Grilled Cheese Melts
1/3 spray of Pam Original Cooking Spray

Spray skillet with Pam and heat on medium.  Lay two slices of bread on skillet and one piece of cheese on one slice.  Let cheese melt and check until golden brown.  When browned, flip second slice of bread onto "cheesed" bread and serve and cut!

I realize I just posted how to make grilled cheese and tomato soup.  Simple right?  But this blog is for me to skim through meals that I've eaten that are simple and most of all healthier.  You know, on those days/nights when you just can't decide what you want to eat???  A quick, simple meal that is always a hit is a no brainer.
