It's taken a few days but the tomato soup is finally done. We ended up with about four quarts. We ate two of them today. Send more tomatoes.
Cost per person: $1.20 per person. Mostly in bread and cheese since the tomatoes were free and we used cheap balsamic in the soup. Can you order this anywhere? Of course. But also no.
I never understood tomato soup. It's like eating a bowl of marinara sauce IMO.
I do now want grilled cheese though.
Add more acid like balsamic. Get rid of all the other veggies like onion and garlic. No oil. It's different.
I feel like food that takes multiple days to prepare needs a cost of labor included in the estimated price per person
But there isn't a way to universally price that. And once society collapses we will all have plenty of free time. I typically charge about $60 to $100 an hour for my labor. Clearly that's not a viable option for cooking unless someone is going to pay me. Since no one is doing that the value is $0.
Ain't no value on my love of sharing food!
Seriously though, this soup looks amazing. I normally don't like homemade tomato soups (something in that can..) but your soup looks like it has the perfect texture. Amazing job
Tomatoes, skins and seeds removed. heat, time. Once the large bits start to fall apart blend it. Add your flavors. It's stupid simple but takes forever.
I love me some grilled cheese. Way to cook.
That looks lecker! What kind of tomato soup is it?
I've recently started to appreciate tomato a lot more. Especially its tangy side, it's fuckin A.
The kind with free tomatoes, a little sun dried tomato and balsamic in it. And nothing else. Definitely tangy. We remove all the skins.
free tomatoes
That's my favourite kind of tomato as well!
Why remove the skin? I love keeping the char ✨.
No char here. I like a good char but that's not a recipe trick that is safe for canning. Cooked skins that aren't charred is traditional canned tomato soup. This is different. Smoother. More tomato flavor. More acidy.
Ahhh I see
this is one of my go-to lunches for work
That tomato soup looks CHUMKY… the BEST KIND! Yuuuuuum!
Looks 😍
Would you consider this Monk cheese?
?
Add something like potato, or at least bread.
Why would I add potato to tomato soup? Why would I add bread to grilled cheese sandwiches?
Because heartburn.
Honestly if you have hearburn issues, you can cook with bay leaves and supposedly it helps. I do it, and I think it helps.
In this house we believe that heartburn is a disease of cowards. Probably because we never get it. Which is why we can enjoy a big bowl of tomato soup.

We disagree with that. Besides, it would make for a balanced diet, which this here isn't.
Five servings of vegetable with some bread and cheese on the side isn't a balanced diet?
