Progresso® Soup and Sandwich Night - The perfect pairing to warm up the entire family from the inside out, on a long cold day!

It's about that time of year when I start complaining about being cold. I hate being cold. January has brought some cold weather to us here in Massachusetts. In case you don't live around here, by cold, I mean it was 10 degrees the other morning. That is some seriously cold weather.

After I picked up Nora (my 4 year old) from school on Tuesday, we stopped off at Walmart to grab a few things I've been meaning to pick up. As I was heading to the dental care aisle, I noticed an end cap with a display of Progresso® Light Soups. As soon as I saw it, I knew it was going to be the perfect thing to warm us up!

I grabbed a few cans of the Italian Style Meatball Soup and also some of the Chicken Corn Chowder. Not only did I have a coupon for $1.00 off four cans but Progresso® Soups have Box Tops on their labels! If you have school aged kids you know that Box Tops = money for your school.

On the way from the car to my house, Nora just had to stop and play with the dusting of snow on the ground. I do mean a dusting. She's just praying for a massive snow fall everyday. She can't wait to get out there to build a snowman, go sledding and have my husband build her a snow fort again. I couldn't bring myself to rush her, she was having so much fun, even though I was freezing! When she finally gave up on the snow, we headed in and I started right in on dinner.

I obviously wanted grilled cheese to go with my soup. Is there a better combo than that on a cold day? It's the kind of thing that just warms the soul.

Since it's that time of year when we all try to eat a bit lighter, I didn't want a super indulgent grilled cheese. But I did want simple and delicious; no need to sacrifice flavor.

Since I was preparing the Italian Style Meatball Soup, I kept on the Italian theme and grabbed part skim Mozzarella and a thin sliced Provolone. I also opted to use extra virgin olive oil in lieu of butter. The bread I used was a multigrain panini style bread. And, I always feel better about a grilled cheese if it's loaded with fresh spinach.

A toasted sandwich just begs to be dipped in a warm soup, doesn't it? Just look at that cheese!

I'm telling you, having a Progresso® Soup and Sandwich night, will make these long cold days just a little bit easier!
