There are few things in this life better than a piping-hot bowl of tomato soup and an ooey-gooey, crispy-crunchy grilled cheese just as the weather begins to get chilly. But we figure there must be some other grilled cheese/soup combos out there we simply never thought to try that are as good or better than the classic American cheese and tomato soup. But you guys never disappoint, so we figured we would go to you on X (formerly Twitter) to see just how good grilled cheese and soup can get. We asked “Besides American cheese & tomato soup, what’s the best grilled cheese & soup combo?” and, once again, you all delivered. So let’s dive into all things hot and cheesy and learn about the best grilled cheese and soup combos according to you.

Clam chowder and roast beef with horseradish cheddar on sourdough is my jam. —@PencilRabbid
I think I speak for all of New England (and let’s face it, the other states, too) when I say, YES PLEASE. Oh my goodness, the tangy horseradish cutting through the richness of the beef and soup? This one’s a winner.

Guilty pleasure from my childhood. Grilled cheese made with Velveeta. Then dripped in ketchup. Gotta be careful though. Melted Velveeta is like molten lava. Do not let it drip on you! It is my ultimate comfort food. —@LisaWright207
But is ketchup a soup? (@A Hot Dog is a Sandwich podcast, please advise.)
