a soup day
Today was a sunny warmish winter day; it felt like a good day for soup.
I looked for a recipe for tomato rice soup, starting with cookbooks and then moving on to the web. I found a one that looked interesting on the Tori Avey's site.
The first step in creating tonight's tomato rice soup was to saute chopped onions, carrots, and celery, followed by throwing the tender vegetables into a blender with some tomatoes. This was the start of a smooth base for the soup. That's a step I never would have guessed!
The recipe called for either chopped fresh tomatoes or for canned tomatoes. I moved away from canned tomatoes a long time ago, using Pomi chopped tomatoes instead. Instead of the 3 14-ounce cans called for by the recipe, I used 2 26-ounce boxes. That worked!
