Paradise bakery Tomato soup

Kandy's Fire Roasted Tomato Soup (like paradise Bakery's)
2 medium onions, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
olive oil
28 oz can San Marzano whole tomatoes (I buy them at Fresh Market)
14 oz can Muir Glen fire roasted diced tomatoes (I buy them at SuperTarget)
8 oz can tomato sauce
6 oz can tomato paste
4 cups water (chicken stock)
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 cups milk

In a dutch oven saute onion in olive oil until almost translucent. Add garlic and continue to saute a few minutes more. Add tomatoes, sauce and paste as well as water. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to simmer for 30 minutes. Puree in blender, or with immersion blender until desired consistency. (I like mine slightly chunky but you should puree until your hearts content) Add milk and seasonings and continue to simmer for another 5 or 1o minutes.

Notes:
I used water but I think I might try chicken stock next time to see what kind of depth of flavor that provides. Also I used skim milk, which was de-lish and saved me some calories but if you are feeling bold use something richer. I highly recommend you use the San Marzano tomatoes if you can find them. There is just something special about them. Feel free to check for seasonings and alter to your taste. I served this with grilled american & mozzarella cheese sourdough sandwiches.

Enjoy! There is something about making and eating soup from scratch that just nourishes the soul.

Sun Valley, Idaho 2021

We stayed at a cute log cabin by the path that goes from Sun Valley to Hailey. There was a huge open field where we were able to throw the ball and play with the dogs in the snow. We ate lunches out and cooked the other meals in the cabin.  Connelly got  the French dip, Nate got the Pastrami, Kate got Macaroni salad and I got the Acai bowl! This was our fourth year going to SunValley.  We love to shop at the  thrift store, Gold Mine.  We found a lamp, board games, Sorrel snow boots for kate, beanies, and Corral plates for the kitchen!! GOLD MINE! Connelly went to Bald Mountain for the first time.  He was able to ski just as fast if not as fast as me.  The ski runs there are so long.  I never took the kids because they are  so long and I thought they wouldn't last two runs.  Connelly and I did 5 runs!!  It was so fun.  Then we got the souvenir pins for Dolla...

Connelly 3 years old

I haven't blogged or done a cute updated pix of Connelly since his March birthday when he turned three. He is so fun. I have no energy because I'm pregnant but he has a ton of it. He loves to ride his bike and play with his friends from sun up to sun down. He believes he is pregnant too and he has a "baby Kate" in his belly like I do. We are looking forward to Oct. 13th as much as ever in this horrid heat. I hate being pregnant in the summer. I love summer, I love being in a bathing suit, and this summer isn't what I love because I don't look good in a bathing suit and I hate the heat.

Silver Lake

Connelly was able to have a first hike the other day. I took him up Big Cottonwood canyon and we walked around silver lake. As you can see I was in a tank top and shorts and Connelly didn't have a jacket or anything. We started our little walk, only a mile, and it started to rain, then snow/hail. It was Crazy. Connelly didn't mind though. He had a great time.
