We are in the end of first week of our month long marathon. This is my final post for the combos around the world.I wanted to make a simple combo so ended up with tomato soup and grilled cheese croutons.
Tomato soup can be served both cold and hot .There are several ways to make it like thick or thin or sometimes with chunks.
Tomato soup is famous worldwide ,however it is the popular comfort food in Poland .So for the last day of combos, I made this thick and creamy tomato sauce with grilled cheese croutons.
