But I used some milk and some water and it's a great creamy texture. And the melted cheese it also really good.Altiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772248808276734643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017927177231080668.post-66186359462648264762012-06-06T09:28:16.020-04:002012-06-06T09:28:16.020-04:00That's what I love about cooking (vs. baking):...That's what I love about cooking (vs. baking): There are no rules.

Adding beans is new to me too but new in a "hm, I think I could go for that" sort of way.%Shocked%https://www.blogger.com/profile/08017279590797608442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017927177231080668.post-8518713705694746832012-06-05T09:27:42.453-04:002012-06-05T09:27:42.453-04:00Altie: I think tomatoes are "special"; t...Altie: I think tomatoes are "special"; to get higher lycopene amounts, tomatoes should go through a heated process, or something. <br /><br />Anon: The origin of the roux is for thickening purposes; probably to make smaller amounts of food stretch. <br /><br />If one added flour directly, it would clump, but by being mixed with oil, it ends up thickening smoothly. I suppose it's not really necessary, but I like my soups thicker. <br /><br />Corti: Nope! The pepper gets a little shriveled, that's all. <br /><br />I found a carton in Trader Joe's that has low sodium. <br /><br />I LOVE onion soup. Then again, I love onions.

And processed tomatoes have health benefits, or something. <br /><br />I also shoin the tomatoes too much; I don't have the heart to pulverize them. <br /><br />Liking things salty is OK - it's just that it is better to add your own salt than to purchase them with salt added; they put a boatload in there.Princess Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217157534383672867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017927177231080668.post-63656626660424722012012-06-04T13:56:41.946-04:002012-06-04T13:56:41.946-04:00This looks really good, I think I shall try it.

Usually I add salt to soup even before I have tried it.<br /><br />And since I am not the most experienced chef, here is a question: is there no recipe that calls for tomatoes in tomato soup?Altiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772248808276734643noreply@blogger.com
