Our weather is turning cooler. Our tomato plants are still providing an abundant harvest. We've been eating loads of tomato salads, sandwiches, vegetable medleys, and pasta sauces. And now today for lunch I turned about a dozen tomatoes into a pot of fresh tomato soup.
I used the blender to puree the whole tomatoes, skin included. Then, heated the puree in a saucepan along with fresh garlic, salt, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese until warmed through. Delicious and fresh-tasting, with a bit of natural sweetness. And very, very quick and easy.
What are your favorite ways to use up fresh tomatoes?
