Food (Only on Friday) Griled cheese

Grilled cheese and tomato soup is a terrible combination. It doesn't go well together, and canned tomato soup is terrible.

I love grilled cheese. If I have fresh tomato, I'll put a slice on before closing the sandwich (I cook both sides at once, then put them together) grilled cheese goes well dipped in a good marinara (think the good semi-chunky stuff that you get with mozzarella sticks) tomato soup? Hard pass.

Good crusty bread and a good mozzarella cut thick.  Make a grilled cheese with that.  Dip into marinara sauce.

Far superior.

Mozzarella doesn’t have enough flavor on its own. It needs something with some bite to stand against the marinara.

Well...  that is definitely an opinion you posted there.

As far as culinary professionals go, it’s a pretty common one. Mozzarella is a very mild cheese, and when it’s added to things, it’s usually there for texture. There’s a reason why you don’t see mozzarella as the only cheese in a grilled cheese hardly at all and basically also never in a mac & cheese. It’s typically paired with a stronger flavored cheese.
