The Classics

What better for dinner but a classic...Tomato soup and grilled cheese.

Ok...maybe I pimped it out a bit.

Tomato soup made with my home jarred tomatoes, butter, milk, fresh basil, red pepper and my new found fun...honey.  I really didn't think it would work, but WOW it gave the soup new dimensions.  When using home jarred tomatoes the acidity is allot higher then store bought canned tomatoes, thus why I add butter and milk.  I actually usually use heavy cream but was out of it.  The taste was great but the acid was high.  Thinking some sugar might calm it down I went to the cupboard and discovered my sugar was hidden behind lots of stuff and the honey was right up front...What the hell...try it.  I'll never go back. Try it.



The next is the grilled cheese...butter, real butter not anything else, rosemary olive oil bread, deluxe american and good swiss cheese. 



I am full now.

    Yep they add sugar to canned tomatoes usually so that's why you need to curb the acid with the honey. :) Looks yummeh.
