I love the tomato soup/grilled cheese sandwich combo. My problem is I don't like canned soups. Too many unnecessary and unhealthy ingredients. And no season is more apropos for hot, steamy soup than Fall. Beautiful sunny days with the twist of a chilly evening. Read more Tomatoes have been very high-priced, but Fall is usually the time for surplus crops and lower prices. And there they were - plump and ripe Roma tomatoes piled high in a bin under a Sale sign: 2 lbs./$1.00. That's when the idea bulb lit up and my following recipe was created. You will need 2 cookie sheets with no stick foil and a food processor or blender. Serve for lunch, snack or dinner with a salad of romaine lettuce leaf boats filled with chunks of Queso Fresco cheese and avocado chunks, sprinked with olive oil - squirt of lemon and fresh ground pepper.
