Fall calls ya’ll and ya’ll call for Tomato Soup

in Families, Lifestyle, Still Life

“A tomato may be a fruit, but it is a singular fruit. A savory fruit. A fruit that has ambitions far beyond the ambitions of other fruits. E. Lockhart ”   I’m not someone who lives and breathes soup.  I think it  definitely has its place in the culinary world but soup is rarely my top choice for a meal (unless we are talking chili of course).  Fall days in Northern MN call for comfort food and on the particular day I made this soup, comfort was in high demand!   I started out with the ultimate food.  Bacon (because it really is a pork fat thing!).  I took about six slices of bacon and  cut and fried them all  in my All Clad stock pot. .While the bacon was cooking, I chopped up a few pretty red, orange and yellow peppers.  I’m not sure the exact difference between them and green peppers but I like their flavor and they add pretty color to almost all...

I don’t believe it myself………..what’s not to love about the iconic American food…….second next to burgers.  Well, I’m married to that guy.  On  the rare times the hubby is out of town, I DO PIZZA…   It has been a long winter in MN……….but I’m happy to report spring is showing upand yes that comes in the form of a lot of deer poo and yellow grass.  But that showing up is a good sign it, means it is time to  celebrate.  My favorite way to celebrate spring is with a wonderful #Lemondropmartini   Pucker and smile can you say #lemoncillo………. ok so I digress.  This blog is supposed to be about #Pizza.  As I mentioned before, my husband is not a fan…….and I LOVE Pizza…………Since it is  a rare treat in my life  I decided to take a frozen pizza did you say...
