Last week my mother-in-law brought me some home grown tomatoes that were huge. I mean those suckers were huge…giant….Anyways, I couldn’t let those great looking tomatoes go to waste, so I decided to make the little guy some Tomato Basin Soup. May I just say, he stopped eating his bread to finish the soup, that is huge here!
Ingredients:
2 lbs of tomatoes
10 basil leaves
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 gloves of garlic
2 tbs of oil
Salt, pepper
(bullion cube optional)
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a small pot
2. Grate the garlic into the oil, saute until fragrant
3. Add the onions, saute until transparent
4. Skin the tomatoes as much as you can, chop and add to the pot
5. Add basil, salt and pepper
6. Cook on medium, for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally
7. Transfer into the food processor and pure very well
8. Pour back into the pot and cook for another 10 minutes.
Enjoy!!!
