Tomato Soup
No, this is not a nod to anything soul searching. I simply made tomato soup.
For Christmas, I was given an electric pressure cooker and a 14 cup food processor. (I used to have a 2 cup processor). After Christmas dinner, I used the cooker to make some of the richest turkey broth that I've made, and it took only about an hour & a half. So, with that homemade broth and fresh vegetables and herbs, I made my own tomato soup. OMG...it is wonderful! Who knew that flavor of tomato soup did not need to resemble warmed-over tin?
And the calorie count is only 105 per cup. Yep, I am eating two cups! (Wouldn't fresh, roasted corn go great with the soup? or roasted peppers?)
Yep, there will tomatoes grown this year. I received the Burpee catalog in the mail, and there are some amazing heirlooms that I want to try (along with the standards).
Yes, this was a good couple of presents this year. (The hubbie said that he did not know what he would do when the-one-who-will-take-over-the-world moves out of the house in three years...she pays attention to what I want). :)
