I like to add multiple kinds of cheese to a grilled cheese sandwich. I like the combined flavors. There is an endless number of combinations. The BEST grilled cheese is made with homemade bread.
A good substitution for butter is mayo. It adds a nice tang to the sandwich. Sometimes I forget to get the butter out of the refrigerator and instead of melting it or trying to spread cold butter onto the bread I will use mayo.

Side Options
You can make any soup vegetarian by using vegetarian broth and omitting the meat. I like to add more vegetables or grains. I like to add potatoes to the Italian sausage kale soup. You can omit the beef from the barley soup. Southwest chicken soup is great with bulgur and garbanzo beans instead of chicken.
