I've had this flagged for a year and just made it today – perfect cure for snowstorm and my cold. Thank you!

Wow, this looks great, and EASY! My blender has also bitten the dust this past few months, so I am stuck with the immersion blender (when sometimes you don't want to immerse) (does that have one "m" or two, feel free to edit). I am beginning to think that when you hear of marriages over 30 years dissolving and those people getting on with second marriages that the reason could possibly be that all their appliances have worn themselves out and it is a good way to get re-stocked with fresh kitchenware, etc. Figuring I like the current (and only) husband well enough that worn out appliances are the least of it. Your soup, and that perched sammie, look really good.

Would it work to put the bread in the food processor first to make crumb and then stir into the soup? I'm thinking it would be less of a mess that way.

Interesting! I've never thickened soup with bread before. Normally I blend cashews to thicken my soups… I'll have to give it a try. Thanks for the post :)

You can definitely do it! And you don't have to have a Dutch oven. Your usual soup pot will work. A big saucepan. Whatever's handy.

Thanks! Tomato soup and grilled cheese hit the spot this time of year.

Isn't that crazy? It really works, though.

Oh, loooove a grilled cheese sandwich. Aren't they ridiculously good?

Oh, no! Sounds like you need comfort food, STAT. I can totally relate.
