Tomato soup and grilled cheese (infosec.pub)

It's taken a few days but the tomato soup is finally done. We ended up with about four quarts. We ate two of them today. Send more tomatoes.

Cost per person: $1.20 per person. Mostly in bread and cheese since the tomatoes were free and we used cheap balsamic in the soup. Can you order this anywhere? Of course. But also no.

I love me some grilled cheese. Way to cook.

That looks lecker! What kind of tomato soup is it?

I've recently started to appreciate tomato a lot more. Especially its tangy side, it's fuckin A.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The kind with free tomatoes, a little sun dried tomato and balsamic in it. And nothing else. Definitely tangy. We remove all the skins.

[–] ignotum@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

free tomatoes

That's my favourite kind of tomato as well!

[–] SpicyColdFartChamber@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why remove the skin? I love keeping the char ✨.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No char here. I like a good char but that's not a recipe trick that is safe for canning. Cooked skins that aren't charred is traditional canned tomato soup. This is different. Smoother. More tomato flavor. More acidy.

Ahhh I see

[–] chairsushi@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 months ago

Looks 😍

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

this is one of my go-to lunches for work

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

That tomato soup looks CHUMKY… the BEST KIND! Yuuuuuum!

[–] KeefChief13@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Would you consider this Monk cheese?

[–] Vreyan31@reddthat.com 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I feel like food that takes multiple days to prepare needs a cost of labor included in the estimated price per person

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

But there isn't a way to universally price that. And once society collapses we will all have plenty of free time. I typically charge about $60 to $100 an hour for my labor. Clearly that's not a viable option for cooking unless someone is going to pay me. Since no one is doing that the value is $0.

[–] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ain't no value on my love of sharing food!

Seriously though, this soup looks amazing. I normally don't like homemade tomato soups (something in that can..) but your soup looks like it has the perfect texture. Amazing job

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Tomatoes, skins and seeds removed. heat, time. Once the large bits start to fall apart blend it. Add your flavors. It's stupid simple but takes forever.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I never understood tomato soup. It's like eating a bowl of marinara sauce IMO.

I do now want grilled cheese though.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Add more acid like balsamic. Get rid of all the other veggies like onion and garlic. No oil. It's different.
