@spossberg: it's not unheard of to add sugar to tomato soup. America's Test Kitchen recently had an episode for Creamy Tomato Soup (Without the Cream) and the secret was the addition of soft white bread before pureeing. They then added the broth separately and they then heated it up.

I also saw a recipe for Grilled Cheese Sandwiches with a mustard-butter-parmesan spread on the exterior before grilling to make it crunchier.

Brrr! It was cold in NYC this weekend and I heard our neighbors up north by Fenway Park got some snow!

I warmed up with some hearty lentil soup started with a finer puree of mirepoix, similar to sofrito (gave a smoother, less stew-like end-productt). Also had some packaged Korean uncurdled bean stew, which is a staple of mine when the temperature gets cooler.
