"There’s nothing that brings me back to my childhood more than a bowl of hot tomato soup and a crisp, cheesy sandwich. My mom always made the best grilled cheeses (and buttered toast!) because she took the time to smooth the butter over the entire piece of bread, all the way to the edges. This is important—just as important as slicing the sandwich diagonally into two triangles for better dipping. If you prefer a chunkier soup, you can also leave it unblended."
