Tomato Soup



It is freezing in NY.  When I last checked the thermometer, it read 21 degrees and the ground is covered with a light snow.  It is beautiful but I am not happy walking and driving in it.

 To make it worse, I have a rental car, this week.  I am not sure if I shared that a school bus hit my parked care a few weeks ago.  It is in repair presently so I have to navigate the snow in a strange vehicle....not a happy camper.

 I will not take my class out to recess today, no matter how much they beg.  Does that make me a mean teacher or a responsible one.  I have one boy who comes with a light sweat shirt, no matter the weather.  I am wondering what he will be wearing today.

 I was not feeling well when I made this soup so I did not take a photo but I checked my files for another soup and found this roasted tomato soup which looks very much like it without the cheese on top.  


Tomato Soup (adapted from All You February 2013)


Ingredients:


2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon parsley, dried or 2 tablespoons fresh
2 pounds fresh tomatoes, chopped
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup finely grated Cheddar

Method:

Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. 


Add parsley, tomatoes and 1 cup water. Season with salt and pepper.


Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. 

Reduce heat, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are very soft, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool. 

 Puree soup with an immersion blender.

Pour into bowls and top with cheese.


Eat and enjoy.

    oh Chaya,
    It's amazing how some kids come to school. I think the parents don't know or forget about them once they are out the door. You are responsible !! A good comforting pot of soup is the perfect solution for this frigid weather. Sounds delicious.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine.

Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
