This is one of my family's favorite meal! I found these recipe's years ago in the Taste of Home Magazine. If you haven't been on their website, you should go visit. Lots of yummy recipes! I tweaked this one just a bit, and I think it tastes fabulous. Here it goes:
Creamy Tomato Soup
1 medium onion, chopped (today I didn't have an onion, so I used dehydrated onions. Tasted fine!)
2 TBSP Butter
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes undrained. (if you don't like chunks, blend it first!)
2 cans (10-3/4 ounces each) condensed tomato soup, undiluted
1-1/2 cups milk (evaporated milk works great)
1 tsp sugar
1/2-1tsp dried basil
1/2-1tsp paprika
1/8-1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, cubed
In a saucepan, saute onion in butter until tender. Stir in tomatoes, soup, milk, sugar, basil, paprika and garlic powder. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in cream cheese until melted. I used a wire whip and stirred quickly to get any lumps out. Serve immediately. 8 servings.
This is the best tomato soup I have EVER had!
The Ultimate Grilled Cheese
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened (you can use the lowfat kind!)
3/4 cup mayonnaise (I use the kind with olive oil)
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/8 tsp. seasoned salt
10 slices Italian bread (1/2 inch thick)
2 TBSP butter or margarine, softened
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth. Stir in cheeses, garlic powder, and seasoned salt. Spread five slices of bread with the cheese mixture, about 1/3 cup on each. Top with remaining bread. Butter the outsides of sandwiches; cook in a large skillet over medium heat until golden brown on both sides. 5 or more servings.
These sandwiches are YUMMY! My family can't get enough of them. Just try to forget how much fat is in each one. Remember.....moderation:)
