Spicy Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Dippers

This is a Sandra Lee recipe that I love.  The only thing we do differently is the grilled cheese dippers.  Those I use a recipe from Rachel Ray.

What do you need? {spicy tomato soup}

1 can condensed tomato soup

1 can condensed Cheddar cheese soup

3 cups spicy tomato juice

1 teaspoon dried basil

What do you do?

Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat until heated thoroughly, stirring occasionally.  {You can make this not spicy and just use regular tomato juice}

What do you need? {grilled cheese dippers}

8oz shredded monetary jack cheese

1 baguette French bread, sliced 1/2 thick

butter

ranch dressing

What do you do?

Mix together cheese and enough ranch dressing to moisten it.

Butter your slices of baguette on one side and stuff with the cheese mixture.  Grill as you normally would do grill cheese. 

Then enjoy!  We love this recipe in the Winter time.  The spice is sometimes a bit much but you could really do just tomato juice in place of the spicy and then if somebody wanted some spice they could add hot sauce to their individual bowls or mugs.
