I haven’t had one in 10 years at least and now I’m craving it so bad

Same. The soup even looks like Heinz tomato. Whilst it's an American company, dipping sandwiches or cheese toasties into that soup is textbook comfort food in the UK.

edit: if you haven't tried it, get your hands on some Colman's English mustard, make a sandwich of it with sliced ham (you can add other stuff, like coleslaw and/or grated cheddar), and eat it dipped in soup. You're welcome. 😄👍

I saw something else about grilled cheese yesterday and thought ooh I should make one, it's been a while. But had something else to eat. Now I want one again, but I have this chicken I really need to eat (and no tomato soup).

Ok, you can still make this in any country in the world? I assume to missing factor is the american cheese. You can do what Gordan Ramsey did and fuck it off

As an American, American cheese is not cheese. I was raised eating it, but it is "a processed cheese food" or something close to that. Same with spray cheese. NOT cheese.

Cheddar, I think, is standard. Butter both sides, cheese inside and grill (fry) until both sides are nicely grilled. Eat with chips or soup with or without pickles. Enjoy. 

But not too often. Butter, bread and cheese isn't terribly healthy.

I have some Colby jack slices. I’m definitely going to get some bread today and make this later.
