Tomato Soup

Others on 365 have shamed me with their home cooking so today I decided I had better put my tomatoes to good use and make some soup. I planted far too many and have 16 plants which have produced so many toms that I haven't been able to give them all away! Steve said I should ask Sainsbury's if they wanted to take some off my hands - LOL. I worked 6.5 hours today (far too many but very rewarding) and so I didn't get home until 4.30pm but as I had planned to make the soup, I decided I must do it. Also, I hadn't got any pics to put on here so that was another motivator! What a lot of washing up though just to make a few bowls of soup. I need to wait for the dishwasher to finish before I fill it up again.

Last night I watched a documentary on Ayrton Senna which didn't finish until about midnight but it was a really good programme but made me cry at the end. He was such a lovely chap and to lose his life in a crash was awful but his friend put into practice some of his ideas to make Formula 1 racing safer and nobody fortunately has lost their life since. Also his family set up a Trust which has helped 12 million poor children in Brazil to have an education and have a much better life because of it so something good has come out of something bad!
A lovely collage and I hope you will enjoy the fruit of your labour

Well done you! I cooked up all my tomatoes today for passata. Nice to use home grown produce plus I am too lazy to collect the tomatoes regularly.

One day I'm going to grow too many toms so I can follow @barbsmith's roasting suggestion http://365project.org/barbsmith/365/2011-08-30 - I ask her about storage in the comments....

@rosiekind I think that's crushed garlic on top - I love roasted toms!
