Though making grilled cheese roll-ups may look and sound complicated, it isn't — and the results of your labor will produce a meal that is as fun to eat as it is good to savor.

After you've prepared your tomato soup recipe, use a rolling pin to flatten bread into malleable pieces about a quarter-inch in thickness (via Delish). Next, place your choice of cheese onto the bread, roll up the cheesy squares, and cook them in butter over medium heat in a nonstick skillet. The aim is for the bread to be golden and the cheese to be oozy and melty: Watch the bread pieces carefully to toast each one to perfection. When served alongside soup, these cheesy dippers may look like special-ordered bread sticks. You can watch with satisfaction as guests delightedly dunk the pieces into their bowls.
