When we returned I was chasing my 14 month old grandson for 5 days while his parents and sister went to Disney World. No time for cooking much less posting recipes.
On the last day I did manage to make homemade tomato basil soup with a focaccia grilled cheese sandwich for lunch. It is a very thick hearty soup that sticks to your ribs! Good for dipidge...

Cut your focaccia bread into desired size and slice down the middle, add cheese to the middle and grill in hot skillet until cheese is melted. This sandwich is a great complement to this soup. Now get dipping!!!!
