Well, we almost made it, St. Louis. Winter just couldn’t let us go without one good snowy kick on the way out. Combat it with a cold weather classic: grilled cheese and tomato soup. Put the plastic-wrapped American slices away; we’ve got a deliciously decadent Grilled Cheese sammie from The Crow’s Nest that calls for a rosemary-scented apple compote, gooey cheddar and stringy mozzarella. Dip it in a warm Tomato Broth (use less liquid for a thicker consistency) kicked up with cayenne, chile flakes, garlic and red wine. Opt for your favorite high-quality canned tomatoes for that fresh taste of summer in the middle of snowy muck. Get the Grilled Cheese recipe here and the Tomato Broth recipe here.
