"Grilled cheese and tomato soup" is fairly unambiguous; you kind of have to stretch yourself mentally to argue that it's ambiguous. That said, I realize Charles is just yanking chains, but I'd still like to try his challenge: the cheese in grilled cheese would make a tomato soup cheesier, and bread has been used as a thickener for centuries.<br /><br />I have to behave myself for the rest of this week as I'm due for a doctor's checkup, but next week, I'll try out Charles's challenge.

Since the point of all of this is my disappointment that you did not in fact make a soup consisting of grilled cheese and tomato, I think it's a fair point.<br /><br />You want a real challenge?
