Soup and sandwiches are perfect when the weather is chilly and you just can’t seem to warm up. Combining grilled cheese and tuna salad makes for a delicious twist on the usual soup and sandwich combo.

recipe notes
Any tuna salad recipe will work for this. I usually just do a simple salad by combining the fish, mayo, salt, and pepper. Sometimes I’ll also add a little onion powder.
These melts go really well with tomato soup.
