"Grilled cheese and tomato soup" - at first I thought you were having a laugh. Then I googled. I like to think of myself as widely eaten (hence being widely sized), but that's a new one on me. I do vaguely remember in British "bistros" seeing soups topped with cheese (and sometimes with pastry) then salamandered until the bowl (or glazed pot as was the vogue back then) was so bloody hot it removed your fingerprints, and you daren't eat a mouthful until it cooled, lest it blistered your tastebuds. This was in the 70's and 80's, but never with tomato soup, usually some nasty fish bisque type of thing.
