Seasonally Challenged

I was raised on Campbell's Tomato Soup.
Who knew you could actually make your own tomato soup?
Not me.
But I do now!
I know.... it's not even tomato season.
I went and bought 3 pounds of tomatoes
today because my mouth was watering for
Homemade Roasted Tomato Soup.
Rainy Weather helps the mood.


I can't even imagine how much better this will be with homegrown tomatoes.
Are you with me?
Are you dreaming of rows of tomato plants?
And look at that big puppy of a garlic clove!
GARlicious!!
Can we just have a moment of silence for these colors?
Red, Red, Red
and then BAM!
Orange!

I'm a dunker of grilled cheese in my tomato soup.
Are you?

    I also grew up on canned tomato soup and grilled cheese - and look forward to making our own tomato soup when we have our own tomatoes - it is a favorite.
    Warm wishes, Tonya

    this is TOTALLY diet approved!! I'm telling you!
    tomatoes, onions, garlic. you 'lightly' drizzle olive oil (good oil) before roasting.

    that's it! I think you could drink it three times a day and LOSE weight!

    I love tomato soup. Add a little basil and pepper and it's ready to go. And yes...I am a dunker. A favorite combo is grilled cheese and tomato soup :)

    I must admit, I struggle with cheese toasties (if you please...I guess it's a Hoosiers thing) my grandma and I used to have lunch every Wednesday and she would have my cheese toastie made for me when i got there...government cheese chunk just barely sweaty cause she cut it too thick and didn't grill it long enough.

    I have another great recipe for tomato soup using canned tomatos, cottage cheese and chicken broth...good stuff...

    Grilled cheese and tomato soup has been my daughter's Thanksgiving meal since she was little. Crazy, I know, but she was/is such a picky eater that she would not touch anything traditional at that meal for years (except the pumpkin pie of course!)

    That's awesome, I love the canned tomato soup but it has high fructose corn syrup in it, so I'm boycotting Campbells... what a great idea to make my own!
