    Rarebit is basically bread, sometimes potatoe bread drizzled with a hot cheese sauce that includes beer or ale, mustard and Worcestershire sauce mixed with cheddar or goat cheese served on potato bread.

    For the tomato soup, consider adding leeks and a goat milk or Pantysgawn (soft goat cheese) and Coriander (Cilantro) topper… assuming you wanna keep it traditionally Welsh.

    edit: Forgot to add; that looks really good. Inspiring me to make that soon.

      Leeks are very rare in my food desert. But I’ll keep it in mind. I assume you mean fresh coriander and not seed? I didn’t know the Welsh were that adventurous.

      This was cheddar, a touch of leftover provolone, Worcestershire sauce, stone ground mustard butter, turkey stock (leftover from soup).

      Please post it if you do.

        Fresh chopped coriander leaf on top, not seed.

        The chopped coriander leaf on top is rather common in the south of Wales like Cardiff where it was imported and more readily available than the rest of the Welsh countryside. Still, I find it an irresistible addition to the classic dish.

        The goat milk or pantysgawn is added if you want more of a creamy tomato soup, which often helps with the dryness of potato bread when used.

        edit: My more Welsh than me Mum says chopped basil or coriander are acceptable.
