Dinner tonight will be Idas Tomato Bisque with homemade foccaccia bread and a salad from the fall garden
100 year old Tomato Bisque recipe
3 cups stewed sifted tomatoes (I'm gonna puree with the food processor)
1/2 tsp baking soda (to lessen the acidity)
3 cups scalded milk
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
3 tbsp flour
3 tbsp butter
Mix baking soda into tomatoes and set aside. Put butter and flour in a saucepan on medium and stir til melted together. Add milk, salt and pepper and bring to a boil, stirring constantly for 5 minutes or until milk thickens. When milk is thickened add tomatoes and mix thoroughly. Serve immediately.
I'm going to add a tablespoon of basil since I went to all the effort of growing it, drying it and storing it. Ida recommends adding a bay leaf and one slice of diced onion if you have it. I'm going to add these three in the butter and flour and sautee' them before adding the milk.
