Yes, I did have tomato soup twice today-- this was lunch and the spicy gazpacho accompanied dinner.  I was working at my computer and thinking about what to serve my daughter and the babysitter for lunch when I remembered my stock of tomato puree.  I used a little for the tomato ice flowers in the gazpacho and made a quick cream soup with the rest-- just a roux with onions, butter, and flour, then the tomato puree and some whole milk.  A quick whiz with the immersion blender, then a snip of chives, and voila!  The soup got a thumbs up from everyone and was perfect with a grilled cheese.  

One thing I have noticed is that the homemade tomato puree needs more salt than my usual canned tomatoes.  I need to acquire more tomatoes to lay in a real supply-- what a great resource.

Your soup looks great! Of course that is because I am in an air-conditioned building. It's 94 degrees outside right now! Posted: 2:09 pm on August 31st

Roasted tomato basil soup is on my list to have with Saveur's Ultimate Grilled Cheese Sandwich.

Earl Fest!
