THE BEST GRILLED CHEESE & HOMEMADE TOMATO SOUP (COMFORT FOOD HEAVEN!) | SAM THE COOKING GUY

[@samthecookingguy]

It's true...somehow when reviewing this video we ALL missed the fact that we completely left out the finishing off the bacon jam with apricot jam, apple cider and cayenne. Sorry about that! We can just blame it on Chance 😉

[@LutzCaleb]

Everybody makes mistakes! That’s what makes this show unique. Just used your carne asada recipe today. 🤤 Keep up the good work! “Right boys?”

[@sunnyd_329]

I'm literally making this right now and had to watch it a few times because I thought I had missed it. Great job updating us!

[@torya400]

Thanks gawd you said this cuz I was wondering what made it jam.

[@jodybruch829]

I had to go back, thought I missed it. Thanks for the update.

[@pearcem]

I think we all need a video just on the bacon jam.

[@Perception5639]

Never been teary-eyed over an episode of STCG, until this one. Grilled cheese and tomato soup (albeit not as put together as this one), was my dad's favorite go-to of all time. So, i get back home, and find out this video was released on the day we laid him to rest. I know y'all didn't make this video for me, but i'm going to go ahead and tell myself that you did.

It's very good. I like to add a little splash bourbon to deglaze the pan near the end. Low proof so it burns out. I also use an orange marmalade instead of the peach Sam usually uses. Only cause I can make Orange Chicken with the marmalade the next day!

After all you are the Sam the Cooking Guy, of your tomato soup and bacon grilled cheese bites.

[@gunnarbiker]

OK, I finally succumbed to trying the mayo, salt and pepper and fresh squeezed garlic for my grilled cheese/jalapeno sammiches. First, I have been a "nothing but butter" guy for my 52 years on Earth. Second, my God why have I never tried the mayo mixture on grilled cheese?!?! I am freaking hooked on that flavor. So much more savory than bland butter. I feel as if I need to make up for 52 years of missing out! Thanks for this. Fairly new subscriber saying thanks from sunny coastal North Carolina!

[@brianbarnes2166]

Please do biscuits and gravy, I’d love to see your take on it! Soup looks great and of course that sandwich is next level!

[@mslamanda1]

I’ve commented before asking if you could do a whole episode of knife skills, maybe an episode of knife skills & the proper way to keep them sharpened would be 🔥 and super helpful!

[@SilvaDreams]

Well first of all that metal bar that might come with your knife set isn't a sharpener, it's purely to de-burr or keep the edge straight as when the knife begins to dull the edge is curling over and that will straighten it back into shape (for a bit) but as for the proper angle each knife will have a different angle so... You might want to just look up some proper knife sharpening tutorials from experts. I rather not write an entire book but you'll have to invest in a few sharpening stones as well, those cheap machines don't work and just eat your knifes.

[@andrewm3150]

You'd be better off with a life insurance policy and bullet proof vest

[@jaave001100]

Three criticisms: 1. Don't use vine tomatoes. They are commercially grown for color and size but not flavor. Heirlooms, Campari, Kumato, and if it is the season local cherry tomatoes would be better options. 2. A focaccia instead of a crusty bread. 3. Shred your own good cheese. Or use slices of good cheese. None of that pre-shredded crap. Okay, a fourth: thicken the soup. More tomato paste and let it simmer longer. I loved the bacon jam. I am actually gonna buy those ear buds because the ones I have alway fall out of my ears randomly. Love your channel.

[@joymelanson7780]

Had this for dinner last night at a friend's home, it was absolutely delicious and now I'm a fan of Sam! 👏🏼

I found a can of tomato soup & I had the basics, flour, salt sugar, etc. ended up making tomato soup and dumplings. I was surprised At how good it was. Its been a family favourite ever since….cheap & cheerful.

Taking nothing away from what is undoubtedly a delicious combo, part of the whole appeal of grilled cheese and tomato soup is its simplicity. Bread, your favorite cheese, butter, campbell's soup.

SAM! The bacon grease discussion got me to thinking.... Have you ever made fried corn? My mom used to make it every now and again as a treat with dinner. Basically; fresh corn kernels off the cob; throw a tablespoon or 2 of bacon grease in a pan (depending on volume of corn you're frying) ; once heated up to medium-high heat, toss in the corn and fry it up until you get delicious golden brown spots all around. (Salt and pepper right at the end) You will not find a better unhealthy (but DELICIOUS!) veggie side dish anywhere.
