Avoid the Supermarket with this Tomato Soup

Published on April 3, 2015 By Emily. Updated on August 8, 2020

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

You know those days when you go to the supermarket and don’t actually come home with anything to eat?  That’s why menu planning is so important to me: the plan ensures that I know what’s for dinner and that I purchase all the ingredients.  But since we’re between CSA seasons, my menu planning is a bit more lax…which is to say, I haven’t done it for the upcoming week.  But I had time to go to the store today, so I did.

As a result, I had no idea what we were going to have for dinner when Brian asked me about it this evening.  We pretty quickly settled on tuna melts, but decided we wanted something with to go along with them.  I’ve made a lot of decent tomato soup, but I hadn’t purchased any of the ingredients those recipes require.  So, I created this soup with ingredients I already had in my kitchen.  I’m excited with how well it turned out, because now I’ll be able to throw this recipe together any time!

Despite the cool temperatures and wet weather, we Despite the cool temperatures and wet weather, we had another fantastic year at @freshgrassfestival. I can never get over how, in addition to all the incredible music, the event features a great venue (@massmoca), delicious food from mostly local vendors, a great local beer tent and bar stocked with @berkshiremtdist and a kid-friendly atmosphere including a @kidspacemm art tent.
Shout-out to some of my favorite acts of the day @ajleebluesummit, @cj_field with @gregcaproni and @theblacklegacyproject.

Looking forward to next year!

I made my first ever trip to @seconddropfarm in La I made my first ever trip to @seconddropfarm in Lanesborough this morning to pick blueberries with my daughter. We had a lovely time at the farm, and especially enjoyed the short walk to the lush blueberry bushes, and the beautiful flower and lavender fields. We didn't participate in pick-your-own flowers today, but it's definitely on my radar for the future.
We are looking forward to some muffin baking soon! 🫐
