Another Cookbook Challenge

Our garden has produced a ton of tomatoes this year. So when it came to thinking of my next challenge, it was obvious that I should make tomato soup.

For this challenge I decided to go with good ol' Martha Stewart. I wanted a recipe that used carrots, basil and tomatoes (all of which I had plenty from the garden). This recipe called for all three. However, once it was finished I wasn't very impressed with the flavor or texture. I decided to whip out the stick blender, a little cream, chicken stock and a can of crushed tomatoes. After blending it all together, it wasn't half bad. Take that Martha! :)

  2. It was pretty easy for the most part but getting it to tasty yummy was a little tricky. I just kept adding crap. I'm still not 100% satisfied with the end result but all in all it was pretty good. On to the next challenge. :)

  3. it might be kind of cool to keep a list (woot!) of all your completed challenges with a link to the post and the recipe on the side of your blog.

    congrats on your soup!
