While we were sunning ourselves in France, our tomato plants were hard at work at home. The day after we got home, B picked 6 pounds of fruit.
That is a LOT of tomatoes, people.
In an attempt to clear some fridge space for other foodstuffs, B made tomato soup. He made it according to a Heston Blumenthal recipe (which I can't find the link to online, but it's from this book), which calls for no water or stock to be added - so it's just tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes, flavoured with onions, celery, garlic and big bunch of thyme.
The result is an intensely-flavoured soup with all the summery freshness of tomatoes without any of the acidic taste you sometimes get with canned varieties.
