Grilled cheese and tomato soup is a classic combination, one that dates back even farther than those Campbell’s Soup commercials in the ’60s.

Beauty & Essex, however, gives it a unique twist: The restaurant’s “dumplings” of grilled cheese wrapped in bacon and topped with more bacon are served atop spoons of tomato soup, to be enjoyed in one bite. They’re $18, and Beauty& Essex is at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
