Creamy tomato soup, crisp grilled cheese. Is that the quintessential winter lunch or what? Do like to dip your grilled cheese sandwich right into the soup? I do. It takes me right back to childhood. Are there other soup and sandwich combos that you love to eat? Maybe you have a soup and sandwich pair you love, even if it can't beat tomato soup and grilled cheese for sheer nostalgic value. What is it? What soups and sandwiches just belong together?

Fromin's Deli in Santa Monica makes an amazing chicken salad (on rye, with cheddar!) sandwich that I always pair with their matzo ball soup -- a [rare in LA] cold and rainy day go-to.
