The Gourmet Girl chose to make fresh tomato soup....lots 'o tomatoes, chicken broth, garlic, onions, olive oil, dash of sugar, and a dash of pepper. She blended it, and TADA....fabulous tomato soup....the best I have ever tasted. Gourmet Girl felt it was missing something....hmmmm....she added a touch of salt, some parmesan cheese....hmmm...."Still needs something else," she says. "Oh, how about some basil. We need Grampie's fresh basil." I say that it is not basil growing season in NY right now, so we will have to settle for using dried basil. Gourmet Girl says that although it is more tasty, fresh basil would be even better!!
GG has decided to make tomato BASIL soup with Grampie over the Christmas holidays. She will be purchasing (her mama will be) fresh basil from the grocery store; none of this dried basil for her!!
Sounds delicious and adventurous!So happy we may get to try that soup over the holidays!!Did you blend it in the blender for smoothness?And what for a side dish?
