One Local Summer, Week #5
I ended up with seven Great White tomatoes with an average weight of 1lb (each, that is) so I had to do something with them for this week's One Local Summer entry.
So I made White Tomato Soup. (Which is actually a very pale yellow tomato soup.)
It's... interesting looking. It tastes good, like tomato soup, but it just doesn't look like tomato soup at all. So I guess if you close your eyes and eat it, everything will be okay. :)
I used chard stalks in place of celery. I would have used lovage, but I already had the chard stalks in the fridge. Using the chard gave it an interesting extra flavor; I think I like it. I imagine this would taste good cold, too.
Everything except for a pinch of salt is from my garden! You can't get much more local than that!
