Tomato Soup was my lunchbox favorite.⁠ Unscrewing my thermos lid & pouring the rich, creamy broth into the small, handled cup. Nothing better ... except maybe the swings after?! Even if you're not back-in-school, tomato soup is a great way to welcome autumn. Working or schooling at home? Even better ... you can toast up a grilled cheese to serve alongside. 💙⁠
⁠
TOMATO SOUP⁠
⁠
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.⁠
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.⁠
Toss 4 cups tomatoes, 2 cups onions and 1/2 cup shallots in 2 tablespoons olive oil and arrange on prepared baking sheet.⁠
Sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon pepper.⁠
Roast for 30 minutes.⁠
In the meantime, on medium heat, warm one tablespoon olive oil in a Dutch oven.⁠
Add 3 teaspoons garlic and stir until fragrant, about one minute.⁠
Add 2 cups vegetable stock and 2 tablespoons tomato paste, stirring to combine.⁠
Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.⁠
Add roasted ingredients from baking sheet to broth, cover, and simmer for one hour.⁠
Add 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper.⁠
Puree soup, preserving some texture, using an immersion blender or processor.⁠

Autumn has arrived. ⁠ While the long-awaited sea

Autumn has arrived. ⁠
While the long-awaited seasonal fruits ... figs, persimmons, pears, passion fruit, apples, plums, grapes ... tempt our sun-weary palette ... let's not forget the tomato. Fall brings a bounty of late harvest options that tend to be less acidic than their summer cousins. If you want to cozy up against that slight chill in the air, try roasting. Perfect on salads, tartines or simply on their own. 💙⁠
⁠
ROASTED TOMATOES⁠
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.⁠
Spread tomatoes on a rimmed baking sheet.⁠
Generously coat in olive oil.⁠
Sprinkle lightly with sea salt.⁠
Roast until blistered & beginning to burst, about 30 minutes.⁠

The light is changing & so should your salad! It's time to transition from crisp & bright to crunchy & savory. Throw this simple salad together when you need a quick, yet flavorful, side to balance the slow-cooked Balsamic Turkey you've had simmering all day. 💙⁠

Are all figs the same? Not exactly. Fresh figs have a significantly lower carb count than their dried counterparts. Over 3 times less! Why? It's simple, natural-occurring sugar concentrates when fruit is dried. So go ahead & indulge in one of the season's sensations ... but keep it fresh! We might add, they are perfect atop a toasted slice of our low-carb Seedy Bread, slathered with fresh Brie & topped with toasted walnuts. Enjoy. 💙⁠
