Redeem your holiday indulgences with a bowl of Hearty Tomato Soup |
|
Filed under: Vegetables, Recipes, On the Blogs, Comfort Food There is something about tomato soup that gives it the ability to hit the spot like no other food item out there. And when paired with a grilled cheese sandwich, well, it becomes transcendently good*. However, in this time of post holiday austerity, you may want to omit the sandwich and just go for a bowl of refreshing and virtuous soup.
If that is the case for you (as it is for me, especially since I just ate two scones in rapid succession), you might want to take a peek at this Hearty Tomato Soup that VJ made recently. It's based on this recipe by Giada De Laurentiis, however VJ veganized it and suggests that you add more garlic and beans than the recipe calls for. I think it sounds lovely and wish that a bowl would appear in front me right now.
*If you happen to be at Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia, stop by the Down Home Diner and see if they are serving their tomato soup and grilled cheese combo. They don't always have it on the menu, but when they do, it is absolutely worth indulging. They use whole grain bread, amazing sharp cheddar cheese and soup is chunky with veggies. It might just be one of my favorite meals in the world. Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
