We always had tomato soup and toasted cheese sandwiches. Couldn't have soup with out the sandwich. Can't remember if Mom used milk or water but the toasted cheese was either cut in "butterflies" or 3rd's. 3rd's is how I still do it to this day when I make toasted cheese.   tracy     --- On Thu, 1/22/09, eppleys wrote: When I was a kid, my mother made tomato soup with milk and added hard boiled eggs to it, don't remember that I particularly liked it but anytime I ever complained I would get, " you don't know what's good."
