Is this the best soup and sandwich combo?

Grilled Cheese, in my opinion, is to always be paired with a roasted tomato basil bisque
The American cheese sandwich which is fine to eat by itself would be the classic Ham & Cheese

Grilled cheese with tomato soup. Use a lot of butter (European-style if available) and cook the inner faces first, then flip and add cheese. I'd put a little thinly-sliced shallot in there. Use a good aged red cheddar. Serve with tomato soup garnished with some cream, which any woman with a sense of humor would appreciate.

Is there a comfier combo?

For me, it's 'mato soup with grill chee

>decided I wanted to make a god tier tomato soup
>buy decent quality full flavour tomatoes, fresh herbs, decent butter and cream
>take lots of care cooking it
>smelt great serving it up
>tasted it, was nice but...
>it tasted exactly the same as heinz soup, but 5 times as expensive and 10 times as much prep time

Any other experiences of this sort of disappointment, where you didn't especially fuck up but things you still got a shitty outcome?
