UNDATED (WKRC) – Campbell’s unveiled its new grilled
cheese and tomato soup.

According to Campbell’s official site, the limited-edition
flavor fuses the iconic taste of the company’s tomato
soup and the "comforting" flavors of a grilled cheese
sandwich.

The company was started in 1869 by Joseph A. Campbell,
(1817 – 1900) a fruit merchant from Bridgeton, New Jersey,
and Abraham Anderson, an icebox manufacturer from South Jersey. They produced canned tomatoes, vegetables, jellies, soups, condiments, and minced meats.
