The hubby and I don’t eat many pasta dishes. Not that I don’t love pasta…I absolutely do…I just love other carbs more. Like dessert and bread and desserts and fruit and veggies…did I already mention desserts? I will even make spaghetti squash and use that in dishes before I make pasta noodles. Not to mention that I always seem to fill up quickly when I eat pasta and then am hungry a short while later…so, we usually skip the pasta. Except in this dish!
I first made this concoction for my husband years ago and we probably have it at least once a month. And each time it’s just a little different, depending on what we have in the fridge. Sometime we use rotisserie chicken instead of the sausage if that’s what we have. I’ve even used kale instead of spinach because we had some that needed to be used. This time we had some spicy turkey sausage left over from another dish and then my husband said…let’s add some bacon because we have some…and I said, well of course we should add bacon! So we did. Needless to say…you can get creative and add different veggies and meat…even leave the meat out for a delicious vegetarian dish…and find the combinations that you like best. Enjoy!
I read about the place in a blog before we went and told the hubby we had to make a stop and boy am I glad we did! It’s tucked away off the main road and when you finally get to the clearing it’s one of the most beautiful places you’ll ever see. As usual, the photos don’t do it justice.
ically grown tomatoes that are pollenated by the biggest bumble bees I’ve ever seen specially flown in from Holland!…we got our to-go cups of heaven and set back out into the wilds of Iceland. This soup was so simple and so delicious…my husband said he’s been ruined for all time and that nothing will ever compare to that soup…and he’s not wrong. So, in honor of that soup, I decided to whip up my version with this tasty Roasted Tomato & Basil Soup. Hope you enjoy!
