By the way, I don't use the traditional rubber bands-- I use the ones that are thick, sturdy and that's what I find on celery or asparagus.

Since I didn't have one, I just used my immersion blender.

My heart was so broken by my first attempt at growing tomatoes on my balcony that I don't know if I'll ever do it again. <br /><br />I have waffled for years on getting a food mill, but knowning it removed skins and seeds from tomatoes, I'm leaning towards yes.<br /><br />The soup looks delicious. I saw your blue rubber band and remembered that part of "Bridget Jones's Diary" where she tied a bouquet garni with blue string and ended up with blue soup. I'm glad that didn't happen to you!The Short (dis)Order Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05510572788683143569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226469055147549062.post-24748317203769236802009-09-02T10:29:02.393-07:002009-09-02T10:29:02.393-07:00And that my dear is why so many recipes call for c...And that my dear is why so many recipes call for canned tomatoes! <br /><br />I'm glad you persevered. Your soup looks wonderful. All it needs is a gooey grilled cheese to dip into it. <br /><br />Your bowl of tomatoes is making my mouth water...seriously.

I'm glad to hear it was great at removing the skin and the seeds. Looks like the soup was worth all that effort.
