With the back-to-school season upon us, I find myself at Walmart a few times a week stocking up on grocery items and back-to-school supplies. But the fact that I have a Walmart just a few blocks away means that it's a convenient stop for all of my shopping needs. I can make a large grocery shopping trip every two weeks and easily pop in  for a few essentials in between.

Both Julius and I will be back in class this year and it's going to be very hectic, plus this year he will have his first experiences taking part on school activities and a sport or class (yet to be determined). We'll both be pooped at the end of the day which means we will be craving some major comfort food.

When I think of a quick meal that is meant to be comforting and filling I always think of a bowl of warm Campbell's® Condensed Tomato Soup or Campbell's® Condensed Chicken Noodle Soup with a grilled cheese sandwich. I can prepare two serving of each in just a few minutes. That way we can have more time to sit down and enjoy our meal while we talk about our day.

Spicy Tomato Soup & Grilled Cheese

1 can of Campbell's® Condensed Tomato Soup

2 tbsp Pace® Salsa

2 portions of French bread

a few slices of cheese

2 tbsp butter

4 tomato slices

Directions: Heat tomato soup and add a few spoonfuls of Pace® Salsa depending on how spicy you like your soup. Meanwhile, slice French bread, buttering both sides and add a few slices of cheese and tomato before grilling. Serve hot.

As kids we grew up having Campbell's® Condensed Tomato Soup, that's why it's one of my favorites. But my favorite thing about Campbell's® Condensed Tomato Soup is  that I can make it my own by adding extra ingredients to it. Adding a few spoonfuls of Pace® Salsa is my favorite way to go because it's quick and delivers a real flavor punch.

As most Mexican families do, we like to add heat and spice to most of our dishes. Made with handpicked vegetables, Pace® Salsa makes it easy to add that extra kick without having to chop onion, tomatoes and jalapeños myself. Having a bottle of Pace® Salsa in the fridge is one of my favorite shortcuts and tricks for quick and easy meals.  

Prepping dinner on a busy back-to-school night doesn't have to take long when you have Campbell Soup Company products at-the-ready. With a hearty and comforting cup of soup and a warm grilled cheese, we can enjoy a nice dinner before having to hit the books.
