HUNGRY GERALD

BSK sourced some green tomatoes—BSK used them to make (in HG’s opinion) the best soup ever. HG did not watch the cooking but presumes the tomatoes were cooked with chopped onions, garlic, herbs and spices—possibly a dash of cumin and hot sauce. BSK pureed the melange  with an immersion blender and served it with a bowl of sour cream. The soup had multiple layers of flavor–acid from the tomatoes, smooth and lush from the other ingredients—there’s even a faint whisper of citrus. A spoonful of sour cream turned the soup into an unusual treat. Fortunately, BSK made a big pot of the soup. HG, BSK and glorious granddaughter, Sofia (she will be returning home to Padua, Italy, soon and will be missed) are enjoying autumn life at the family oceanfront home on Prince Edward Island. The weather has become chilly (not frigid) so warm blankets and a steaming bowl of green tomato soup are welcome.
