What's coming out of your kitchen this Thursday evening?
Sandwiches, full meal prep, grilling, or finishing off
some leftovers?

It's going to fire roasted tomato soup here.  I'm
anxious to see if it's going to be better than my
favorite whole tomato recipe blended with a stick
blender after simmering.  Ingredients are the same,
with the tomatoes being the only difference and
there's just enough heavy cream left to make it
super rich.

Unless you're really sick of ham, some of it could be used
to make a ham and hash brown casserole.  That makes a great
breakfast or a dinner casserole.

I look forward to your critique on fire roasted tomato soup. 🙂

The soup is quite good, but to me, no great distinction in
flavor from regular canned whole tomatoes that are used to
make the 'standard' homemade tomato soup.  It certainly
won't go to waste.
Maybe I should have made a small batch of 'regular'
tomato soup.  Then a small batch of fire roasted
tomato soup to equally compare them.  Either version
I've made is creamy using a stick blender and of
course a big glug of heavy cream.
