Heinz Tomato Soup
Growing up in Pittsburgh, PA, there was always plenty of cans of Heinz Tomato Soup in the pantry along with a fresh loaf of “Town Talk” bread and Velveeta cheese to make a quick lunch of cream of tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. Many a snow-filled, sled riding days had a hot bowl of tomato soup waiting for lunch.
Lunch is on the table in about 10 minutes and would keep kids filled all the way up until dinner time. This is a hearty lunch when adding the grilled cheese, but you can also eat a bowl of Heinz Tomato Soup with a few saltine crackers or croutons.
Follow along with what is perhaps one of the tastiest lunches possible – Heinz Tomato Soup and A Grilled Cheese Sandwich.
