Fresh Tomato Soup; Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Book: Joy of Cooking by Irma S. Rombauer (1931)

crumb: tomato soup with a griddled cheese sandwich

Joy of Cooking includes “Fresh Tomato Soup” and a “Grilled Cheese Sandwich” as two separate recipes. Irma S. Rombauer, Marion Rombauer Becker and Ethan Becker wrote it (1997 All New edition). This book is the big American home cookbook. It covers baking, roasting, canning and everyday family meals across a century of editions.

Differences:

Popular internet tomato soup and grilled cheese simmers canned tomatoes with onion, garlic and oregano. It blends the soup. It serves it with cheese sandwiches cooked in butter on a griddle, for dipping. The ancestor pairs Joy's fresh tomato soup with Joy's classic grilled cheese sandwich. The book has both halves of the pair. Joy's soup is only onion and fresh tomatoes cooked in olive oil, then pureed. The online soup uses canned tomatoes and adds stock, garlic, oregano, basil, sugar and Parmesan.
