Grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup is one of my favorite foods, but it is something I haven't had in a while. Going low carb, I avoid meals with bread. But in a shtf scenario, when everything will be different, it would be a comfort food for me.
Basic needs to prep for this, as anyone who is also a fan knows: bread (or the ingredients to make bread), cheese, butter or some fat for grilling, tomato soup (canned or the ingredients to make it from scratch), and milk. I don't think this is a meal that can be made low carb or keto.
I love it made with cheap bread and soup from a can, but adjusting the basics and finding other recipes to make it, can be even better.
I have seen articles about how to change up a grilled cheese sandwich. I found this article as I searched this morning. 50 Grilled Cheese
This recipe is one I would love from the article: 21. Blue Cheese and Onion: Sandwich 2 slices marble rye bread with 1 slice each muenster and soft blue cheese, some caramelized onions and another slice of muenster. Cook, flipping once, until golden. My current limitation is that I have no rye in storage, but I know where I can get some this week. It could be made without the rye bread, but variety is important, IMHO.
Cheese: How to store cheese for extended time? Freezing sometimes changes the texture of cheese. I do have some dehydrated and powdered cheeses, but I have never tried to make a sandwich with it after reconstituting it. The cheap and fake American cheese slices last a long time. It is not liked by all, but can be a good prep for a variety of purposes. I used to make grilled cheese with Velveeta. I love those sandwiches. Velveeta is relatively shelf stable as well and melts in soups and other foods. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions for storing a variety of cheese long term? I have thrown away older and unopened packages because of mold. (Mold=migraines!)
Tomato soup: I have never once made tomato soup from scratch. I have eaten it a few times. I do have some tomato juice that could be used in a variety of ways, including tomato soup. Does anyone have a good homemade tomato soup recipe?
