After a long dry spell of being tomatoless, mother and sister both loaded me up with home grown tomatoes the same day. I have giant tomatoes,and lots of cherry tomatoes, too. Bacon has been put on the grocery list. And I plan on a batch of tomato soup. And salad. Does anyone have a good homemade spaggeti sauce recipe? Or anything else at all, really. I refuse to let them go to waste.
This is the tomato soup recipe I found on crafster, and it's yummy. I sometimes add other veggies, too.
Tangy Country Style Tomato Soup
(serves two full bowls for dinner)
1 medium yellow onion
3 cloves of garlic
1 1/2 cups campier tomatoes
1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes
2 Tbs olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp thyme
2 Tbs white wine vinegar
5 cups low sodium stalk (vegetable, chicken, turkey)
2 tsp sweet chili
1/2 cup half and half or milk
Day old baguette (optional)
Preheat oven to 400 F
Roughly chop the onion, mince garlic, cut tomatoes in chunks. Toss vegetables with olive oil and seasonings on a baking tray, squish some of the tomatoes with your hands. Bake for about 50 minutes or until caramelized.
Scrape roasted vegetable mixture into a medium sized cooking pot.
Add white wine vinegar, stir, let liquid evaporate.
Add stock, I used homemade turkey stock so it wasn't as salty, if using canned stock omit salt from roasted vegetable mixture. Let simmer about 30 minutes covered.
Let cool, add half and half.
Serve with cubes of baguette.
Hmm...I wonder how this freezes.

Do you like spicy? Because if yes I have pretty good recipe for chili flavoured tomato jam.

You may not have been priveledged to see prior posts which make it clear that I can't/don't cook. I am no foodie! But you're making my mouth water, so here's a thing (it has no pretensions to being a "recipe"). It isn't spaghetti sauce, but it haunts me in February:
fresh tomato
fresh garlic
vegetable oil
mushrooms
a starch to serve it over.
I use all these ingredients in a 2-1-1-2 ratio, but that's just me. cut the tomato into bite-size pieces-- do it over a bowl so you save as much juice as possible. Chop the garlic in fairly small bits and saute it with mushrooms in the oil until the garlic is nice and mush. You really can't do this too long; it's all a matter of how long you can resist eating it. Add the tomato and cook long enough for it all to look vaguely tomato-mush-y. (I have no willpower, so the total process takes me less than 20 minutes.) Serve over your favorite carbohydrate-- I like it on egg noodles best, but basmati rice is fabulous. Toast works. Garlic toast isn't too much of a good thing.
Of course you can add your favorite melty cheese, but I say (radical, radical idea; can I even type it?) leave it off this one. Have some for dessert. Tomato and mushroom and garlic and a little oil to keep it from sticking to the pan, it's what I'm going to have to go make now!!!

My mouth is watering. Would that work with olive oil? |

Do that, and then dump some cream into it and simmer it for a few more minutes, and you have the best tomato cream sauce ever.
