    Warm up your tomato soup, and reserve.
  • 4
    Brush the melted butter on one side of each of the two slices of bread.

  • 9
    Flip, and cook for an additional 2 – 3 minutes.

    Chef’s Tip: For me, cooking the ultimate grilled cheese is not about two flips, I might flip it several times, until I achieve the exact level of browning that I want.

    Remove from the pan, and carefully cut into strips.
  • 12
    Chef’s Tip: The strips need to be thin enough to dip into the tomato soup.
