Tomato Soup (and yet to be made Grilled Cheese)


First use of garden ingredients! 

Couldn’t help but think of Josh Heffernan as we prepared his very favorite, gourmet meal tonight.  Is there anything more comforting than grilled cheese and tomato soup?  Well maybe so…

 



 
Just add fresh chopped basil, black pepper (of course), and a dash of cayenne to enhance the flavors of a good old fashioned can of Campbell’s tomato soup.  Adjust these seasonings to your liking, and let us know if there are others you like to add.    Serve with your favorite grilled cheese recipe.  We’ll share some fun ones in posts to come.

Basil wins the race of the first garden item to be used.  Who will be next?

The Garden




 

Our patio garden is officially planted!  Michelle nixed the indoor closet garden and had this crazy notion of using the closet for storing clothes instead.  Here is what we will be growing this year:

Basil
Oregano
Dill
Sage
Rosemary
Thyme
Cherry & Grape Tomatoes
Jalapenos 

Look for these fresh herbs and veggies in many recipes to come (unless we kill them first…)!   Any suggestions for favorite dishes with these plants?
