But only one meal can be her favorite.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each of us have that one food that instantly transports us back to being a kid.  One that brings us comfort on our saddest days.  One that you&#8217;ll never tire of eating.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For her, that meal is grilled cheese with tomato soup. But she can&#8217;t just have any soup and cheese. No, her palette is much more refined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It starts with butter.  Real butter, not margarine. Although, she will settle for vegan butter during our vegan months.  Then, sharp cheddar cheese sliced to 1\/4&#8243; thickness, layered in between large slices of whole wheat bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tomato soup has to be made with milk, not water.   And you must stir it constantly, so it doesn&#8217;t stick to the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-89\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"89\"
