      Steve and I thought yummy and delicious....kids did not care for...remember to presoak the tomatoes!!

  • Tomato-basil soup

    • Christine on September 18, 2012

      I used fresh tomato juice leftover from making sauce. It tasted very summery and fresh and the tomato & basil flavors really came through. Since I was the only one in my house that would eat it, I did get a little bored of it after eating it several times, but it was definitely a tasty, successful recipe.
