Cup of Soup with 1/2 Grilled Cheese (Order Entree #2)

The grilled cheese sandwich is made with cheddar on whole wheat bread.  We use Nature's Own Whole Wheat Bread for these. The ingredients are: STONE GROUND WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR, WATER, BROWN SUGAR, YEAST, WHEAT GLUTEN, CONTAINS 2% OR LESS OF EACH OF THE FOLLOWING: SALT, VEGETABLE OIL (SOYBEAN OIL OR CANOLA OIL), DOUGH, CONDITIONERS (SODIUM STEAROYL LACTYLATE, CALCIUM, STEAROYL-2-LACTYLATE, MONOGLYCERIDES, CALCIUM IODATE, ETHOXYLATED MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES, CALCIUM PEROXIDE, DATEM), CULTURED WHEAT FLOUR, VINEGAR, CALCIUM SULFATE, MONOCALCIUM, PHOSPHATE, YEAST FOOD (AMMONIUM SULFATE), SOY LECITHIN.

The soup is hearty vegetable and looks quite good. INGREDIENTS: Water, Diced Tomatoes, Red Onions, Mushrooms, Zucchini Squash, Yellow Squash, Carrots, Cabbage, Green Beans, Broccoli, Celery, Cauliflower, Green Bell Peppers, Red Bell Peppers, Vegetable Base, Salt, Sugar, Maltodextrin, Corn Oil, Yeast Extra

I do not know what baked sweet potato ridges are. We can assume they are a frozen processed commodity food.  Our other products like this are from food service vendor McCain's "Harvest Splendor" line so I suspect these are the "Ridge Cut Wedges" -- i.e. fries.The ingredients are: Sweet Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (Contains One Or More Of The Following Oils: Canola, Soybean, Cottonseed, Sunflower, Corn), Corn Starch - Modified. Contains 2% or less of Annatto (color), Beta Carotene (color), Caramel Color, Corn Starch, Dehydrated Sweet Potatoes, Leavening (Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Sodium Bicarbonate), Natural Flavor (Contains Wheat), Rice Flour, Salt, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate Added To Maintain Natural Color, Sugar, Tapioca Dextrin, Xanthan Gum. They have 4.5g of fat (.5g saturated) and 125mg of sodium.

 

Fresh orange slices.  

Or - The Salad Bar is a great alternative - this is an actual lunch from our school!
