I used the recipe for techniques.....I already had homemade canned tomatoes from the garden so all I had to do was open the (5) quart jars and heat them to a boil along with the (2cups)chicken broth....I sauteed a medium onion and a poblano pepper in lots of margarine (1/2c)....I pureed that and then put it back in the pan to add the flour to make the roux.....I added about 3 tbls (a little at a time) of hot tomato/broth mix to the pan of roux and wisked.....I then put that into the big pot of tomato/broth mix (while wisking)....Pureed it one more time to make sure all the pieces were gone.....Tasted and added 2 tbl sugar....May add a can of cheddar cheese soup...haven't decided yet...will wait for more opinions on how this basic tomato soup tastes! Thanks for posting it!

I used this recipe as a STARTING POINT for using up some 'getting stale' homemade banana oatmeal chocolate chip cookies..... 1. I used the cookies in place of the bread and added another 1/2 cup instant oatmeal...... 2. I used the saucepan mixture as the recipe calls for...... 3. Added apples, cinnamon, and raisins...... 4. The egg mixture was just mix right into the batter...... 5. I did not use the topping (yet) - doesn't need it - yummy right out of the pan!!!!..... Bet it will taste awesome warmed up with a little cream on it!

Easy recipe - but had to use 3 bowls. I added oat bran in with the raisin bran to soak...Remember to add a little more milk too. Chopped walnuts were added also. I made mini-muffins, topped each with a little sprinkle of brown sugar and baked till golden brown. Everyone likes them...at least as much as you can like bran muffins :) - definately give this one a try...kids will probably like them. They're in the freezer now. I plan to sprinkle with powdered sugar and add to a tray of assorted cookies for a few parties coming up.
