Tomato Soup.

Tomato Soup

  • Onion (I used about 1/4 of a medium sized red onion)
  • Garlic (I was always taught at least 1 clove per person)
  • Grape Tomatoes (About 1/2 pint)
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Chicken or Vegetable Broth (1 cup)
  • Milk (3/4 cup)
  • Butter (a couple of Tablespoons)
  • Sugar (a pinch, only if needed)



  1. Saute the onion and garlic until in butter or olive oil until the onions begin to get translucent 
  2. Add the Grape tomatoes whole
  3. Continue to heat until the tomatoes burst and wither (if you get impatient you can help them along with a little smashing)
  4. Add salt and pepper
  5. Add the chicken stock, and then blend with an immersion blender
  6. Taste it - adjust the salt and pepper; if needed add a pinch of sugar
  7. Stir in the milk (or cream!)
  8. If it tastes a little flat, add a teeny bit of butter...it works wonders

Grilled Chipotle Cheddar Sandwiches
I served it with Grilled Cheese, but to spice things up, I spread on a thin layer of Chipotle yumminess.
I just blended the contents of a can of Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce and added it inside with thick chunks of local cheddar.
