Had my Mom and Cousin Geri over to cook the other day.  Since the holidays are so gluttonous, I thought it would be appropriate to do a simple soup and sandwich-  YUM.

Lets start with the soup-

Now, technically, I didn’t make this- so I can only speak as an observer and consumer.  Didn’t seem to tricky- sauté some onion, dump in some tomatoes, cream, and spices.

This simmers for about fifteen minutes.

Look at these little worker bees.  We got matching aprons for the holidays.  I know you’re jealous.

The soup then goes into the blender and can be kept warm.  

The cookbook also has brown butter croutons which we did not make since we were serving a sandwich also.

This soup was certainly tasty and quick.  The other homemade recipes I have involve roasting the tomatoes first which adds a certain depth of flavor, but takes time.

A little dip of a sandwich… mmmm….  Nice.

Curl up with some Glee and we have ourselves a night!
