Directions
Tomato Soup,”Found em!” I shouted to anyone that might be hovering near the country road mile we live on. A light rain shower just started, and there I was standing in the garden hunting down the last tomato that might be hiding. I found a couple of tomatoes nestled down beneath the sweet potato vines, large pepper plants leaves, and the numerous weeds that had continued to sprout even in the cool Fall weather. Mud was already caked to my old garden crocs, and my hands were also full of mud. Dexter the Mastiff sat quietly beside me, and was trying to stare down a brown caterpillar that was making it’s way slowly across the earth. I turned, quickened my step down the dirt road with the dog beside me, carrying a half of dozen various sized tomatoes tettering in my arms and trying not to drop any along the road to home. I really wanted some tomato soup, and I just knew it would warm me up and Dex too. This recipe uses canned tomatoes, or you can use fresh ones too, like I did. I just peeled the tomatoes, put em’ in the pot and went right along with the recipe from there. This recipe was loosely adapted from Cooks Illustrated.,I made this exactly as written and it turned out amazing! I even shared some with my mom and she couldn’t stop raving about it. Topped it with a drizzle of olive oil, some chives and a bit of crushed red pepper flakes. Serve with bread or grilled cheese for that perfect meal!
