This always happens, I have a consistent online presence until my baby gets a couple months old, then I fall off the grid.
The last several months have been full of changes. Monkey Boy is back in school, BSF has started again, my little Dude is crawling and pulling himself to standing. Our lives have been full, to say the least. But tonight I want to talk about food.
I've been trying to change us over to a more traditional diet. If you're unfamiliar with this try an internet search for Weston A Price or Nourishing Traditions. Tonight I made tomato soup from and it's just about the best I've ever had. This summer I canned tomatoes so I used those, they are just tomatoes cooked down and blended with an immersion blender. Here's the recipe:
Tomato Soup
2c tomato sauce
1c bone broth
1 small onion
1 Tbsp butter
Simply dice up the onion and fry it in a little butter, then add the tomato sauce and bone broth and cook until warm. Ladle into bowls and serve with sea salt and maybe a dollop of milk or cream.
The only way it could've been better was if I got out the stick blender to chop up the onion bits. And let me tell you the key in this is the bone broth, homemade stock. I used chicken because I just made some yesterday, but the friend I got the "recipe" from used beef stock. It's so satisfying, and I never would've thought to put broth in it without Deborah. Mmm...
And since every blog post needs a picture, here's my brood on a walk a couple weeks ago at the cabin. They're way cuter than my bowl of soup.
