On this past Sunday, we all – Robin, myself, Mac and Marnie – went to Berryhill and Co for brunch. They had a wonderful Tomato Basil Soup. Since we have a lot of tomatoes on the vines that are ready to pick and a lot of fresh basil growing, I made some Cream of Tomato Basil Soup out of our fresh tomatoes, our basil and Half-and-Half. It is wonderful! I also made some fresh Blue Potato Salad with Tomato Slivers out of some fresh red potatoes, fresh blue potatoes, fresh kohlrabi, fresh onion – the potatoes, onion and kohlrabi are from the Refugee Garden subscription we have – , fresh parsley and tomatoes – both from our garden – and celery. That was great with the soup! This is not hard to do. You can make this from what I have listed or adapt to your own liking. The tomatoes though, will need a little raw sugar and a little sea salt. Cook this slow and do not boil. Temper the cream before you add it to the soup. Add a little basil to the soup just before serving. Enjoy!
