As the chilly weather is hitting Moscow, there is one lunch that will warm you up and leave you satisfied — grilled cheese served with soup.

Making a grilled cheese sandwich is simple, quick and only requires a few ingredients, which is good for college student on a limited budget. For a nutritious benefit, I make this recipe with a multi-grain bread. Garlic salt adds extra pizazz to your grilled cheese. Lastly, you can’t have a grilled cheese sandwich without a nice, hot bowl of soup to go with it.

Ingredients

  • 2 slices of mutli-grain or Dave’s Killer Bread
  • Butter
  • Garlic salt
  • Medium cheddar cheese
  • Deli meat of choice (turkey, ham, salami, etc.)

Directions

  1. Coat a thin layer of butter on one side of both slices.
  2. Place the buttered side of one bread in the center of a pan on medium heat.
  3. Cut thin slices of cheese and place on the heating slice of bread.
  4. Sprinkle garlic salt over the cheese.
  5. Place your favorite deli meat over the cheese.
  6. Place the final piece of bread with the buttered side facing up.
  7. Flip bread when it looks golden brown.
  8. When both sides are golden brown, remove from heat.
  9. Diagonally, slice in half.
  10. Warm up a bowl of tomato or chicken noodle soup to complete the meal.
