i tried that chocolate and thought it tasted horrible... it was unfortunate because i was really happy to find it and was really looking forward to it... from now on, i'll stick to a high-quality dark.

After a while of eating dark chocolate, I accidentally ate a piece of milk chocolate once and it turns out that I don't even like real milk chocolate anymore. (I had to spit it out cause it was too gross!) Maybe that's the case?

no... that's not it. :D

Me too!! I'd been missing it for ages and then accidentally ate some and was like, "Wow... this actually isn't that good."

I've never had tomato bisque, but that looks really good. Thanks for the recipe!

Instead of thyme...do you think basil would be ok? I love putting basil in just about everything.

That was the hardest part about going vegan for me actually...giving up milk chocolate. Esp the cheap stuff like Hershey bars. Now I cant really eat chocolate, because then Ill start to crave Hershey's anything. If I reallllllly really crave milk chocolate though, I make Mexican Hot Cocoa, which is basically dark chocolate cinnamon bark, melted into soy milk (or half soy milk half soy creamer), with a little extra cinnamon and vanilla extract. If anyone is interested, I will be happy to provide the recipe!

Ina Garten uses basil in her tomato-basil bisque. I do believe it would be lovely. Basil is delicious.

That mexican hot chocolate stuff sounds nice!

actually i made it last night and added about five stem things of basil right in before the simmer (right after i took out the bay leaf) You dont have to cut the leaves or anything because you grind it up in the food processor/blender.

also i have frozen basil cubes so i added those at the same time as the tomatoes and it turned out WONDERFUL.

Whoops! Forgot to add the step about taking out the bay leaf!

Basil is definitely a good option as well. I'm a little too basil-crazy at times, which is why I didn't include it in this particular version (plus I was trying to match that "Whole Foods" taste) but will definitely do that next time!
