Another tomato soup question
Comments (5)I agree that when the yield is so far off it's a concern. I was wondering if it was a typo, actually. With a new recipe I'm always going back to the book so I'm pretty sure I measured correctly (although I greatly prefer it when preserving recipes measure in weight instead of cups or quarts...5 lbs of tomatoes seems clearer than, say, 5 quarts or whatever). The other thing that made me curious is the recipes instruction to simmer until the vegetables are soft, and then run it through a blender or food mill. I ran it through the blender. If I'd used my food mill a lot more fiber would have come out, and that would really reduce the volume. So maybe that's the difference? Or perhaps my "simmer until soft" was not as long as the recipe's, and less liquid evaporated? If I think I'll have enough tomatoes I may try it again just to see what happens....See MoreAnother soup disappointment
Comments (34)I don't think you have to retrain your tastebuds, nor do I think you don't like beans, just certain beans. Here are some of my favorite soups. When I left my parents house and went from Campbells soups to my own soups I thought I was in heaven. It just takes learning which soups you like.

Comments (36)Westsider40, very good question. Me, I wouldn't care if the two soups "tocuhed", but you know some people would. I think I will get extra bowls for the fussy ones. HA! Or, like you mentioned, some people might just go to the sink and rinse their bowl. That's fine...this is a casual party. Hmmmm, I was thinking of having a vegetable platter along with curry dip for appetizers...also would have a couple of calorie laden choices, too. Maybe I could skip the green salad. I will consider that idea. Thanks. Ahhh, tea cups would be cute...but maybe a little delicate. I will check on that. And as I think I mentioned earlier, I am out-of-town and not been able to get to any store to check out these ideas. When I see things in person, I think it will be become more clear what will work the best. Thanks. Hey, you guys want to come over for a soup party? Come on....but please bring your own bowl. HA!!!!!! pup...See MoreMy first pot of soup for the season!
Comments (16)I bought a big package of smoked boneless pork chop pieces and I am thinking great for soup and beans. I think I will be loading up the slow cooker with one or both this week. I just saw a great looking recipe using cabbage, we love cabbage. I will post it on the recipe thread for the other cabbage lovers....See MoreCA Kate z9
