Tomato soup was made two days ago using garden tomatoes, garlic and onion. The recipe came from Tom Douglas. It used to be made for an eight year old boy who said it was the best tomato soup he ever had.
This morning I read a recipe called "Marry Me Chicken" which involved chicken in a tomato cream sauce. So I was inspired. I had chicken, which came from a local farm and never saw a styrofoam tray. Before it went in the oven it was salted, peppered, and doused with some flour. Browned for about a half hour in a cast-iron skillet with some butter and olive oil. It sat in the oven with some chicken stock made last Saturday for about four hours.
After it got a nice skin on it, it was removed from the oven and the prior tomato soup became a tomato cream sauce by adding some...wait for it...cream. The chicken was removed from the pan and returned to the oven, and the tomato soup/cream/chicken stock reduced for 20 minutes or so. Meanwhile some noodles were cooked and last night's garden vegetables were reheated. Most of the vegetables came from our garden except for the cauliflower which came from a local farm.
Souperman made me post this, saying the result was delicious beyond words.
