Is It Soup Yet?
Do you remember the commercial Lipton's put out in the 1970's for their 'instant' soup? I believe it was a little kid that asked the 'Mom' - is it soup yet? That was when they thought pre-packaged stuff was a good thing.It must have been a pretty good commercial, because I still remember the tag line. However, nowadays, I'm more into making my own soups than buying anything with a bunch of preservatives in it.
As I planted my tomatoes late this year, of course, my crop was late. I finally had to just tear out the plants and pick the tomatoes green. I put them in some cardboard flats with newspaper over the top so they can ripen slowly. Last week I made some tomato soup as I have far too many to be able to just eat.
Today was the last bowl of that batch and I see there's enough ripe tomatoes for me to make another one. Yes! The recipe I found last year had an apple added to the soup, along with turmeric and dill. The soup is absolutely delicious!
As the soup on it's own is still too acidic for my stomach, I add some cream before heating it up. Yum! I'm thinking if I add a little less vegetable broth, it'd probably make a really nice tomato sauce. Hmm... that over zucchini noodles with some chicken - sounds like a meal to me!
Tonight will be chicken peanut satay over zoodles to use up some of my zucchini. I already have several bags in the freezer of grated zucchini for soup, but I may just have to add to that.
I absolutely love home-made soups! Right now, though, time is tight with photos due for exhibition night by tomorrow, and my calendar needing finalization of the images, and a craft fair coming up which I'll have to have enough product for ahead. Busy time!
Still, I'll make time to make more tomato soup, just because it's so darn good.

if you're a lover of soups try red cabbage soup.... its as healthy as sin
I make soups all throughout the winter. My favourite is spicy butternut squash soup. I love that.
Good to see you're back. .
When I finally get tomatoes to grow I will can some like stewed tomatoes, oh Imp it is so easy and probably more so with that InstantPot. Then I like to make Salsa too. Down here we do fried green tomatoes and you would probably love those as well, it's a big hit in my tummy.
I hope I get to grow enough zucchini to freeze me some zoodles. Did you do like one zucchini to a baggie?
