DRIED TOMATO SOUP

——– ———— ——————————–
2 tb Olive oil
4 Garlic cloves, large
2 sm Onions, sliced
1 t Basil, dried
1 t Oregano, dried
1/2 ts Rosemary, dried
1/4 ts Ginger
12 Dried tomato slices, 4in
Diameter
6 c Water
1 pn Salt

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan on a medium heat.
Slice the garlic in fairly large pieces and add to the
oil, add the sliced tomatoes. Saute on mediun heat
until soft. Add the herbs and ginger. Saute for a
minute or 2 longer. Add a little water if it gets to
dry. Add enough hot water to fill the pot, 4-6 cups
worth. Cover, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer.
Keep covered stirring occasionally to prevent
sticking. Taste and add a little pinch of salt if you
think it’s needed 10 minutes or so before serving. I
left this simmering for about 3 hours. I imagine it
would be ready anywhere after about half an hour.

This made a lovely brothy tomato soup.

All the herbs were whole dried. I crumbled them into
the pot as the onion and garlic were cooking. All the
ingredients except for the garlic, olive oil, ginger
and water were homegrown and dried. Don’t know if this
will taste as good with store bought stuff. The dried
tomatoes had no seasoning or oil on them.

I made the sweet and sour vegetables last night and I reallyy liked them.
My husband thought they were too sour, but I thought the sweet and sour
mixture was just right. If it is too sour, you could cut out some of the
vinegar. Can anyone guess as to how much fat is in this recipe? It did not
give any information. Well, here is the recipe.

Sweet and Sour Vegetables

Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Serve over rice or other whole grains.

1 20 oz. can pineapple chunks in 1 cup sliced carrots

1 bunch scallions, cut into 2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 inch pieces 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 large green pepper, cut into
1 inch pieces

Sauce
1 cup unsweetened pinapple 1/4 cup cider vinegar
juice 2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Drain the pineapple, reserve the juice and set aside.
Place the vegetables, except the broccoli, in a large pot or wok with
1/2 cup of the water and the garlic and ginger. Saute for 5 minutes. Add
the broccoli and the remaining 1/2 cup water. Stir, then cover and cook
over low heat for 5 minutes.
