Tomato Soup




This is my favorite time of the growing season. Tomatoes, eggplant, onions, peppers, basil and so much more are coming in fast and furious. The question is, what do you do with all this bounty? We freeze tomatoes and pesto, and make eggplant balls and freeze them as well. We process peppers and keep onions and potatoes for the winter. But we also eat lots of this fresh produce during August, September and October.

Last night Karen took our tomatoes, onions, garlic and basil and made an amazing soup topped with olive oil. Then, she put a piece of bread baked by our friend Isis at the bottom of the bowl and labeled soup on top. I love these meals where everything is from the garden (except the bread). Can't wait for Karen's ratatouille with more of our veggies, including our potatoes.
