Bleu Tomato Paninis. YUUUMMMMMMMM!
We have kind of been under the weather here for the past 2 days. . . it has actually been "cool" here, requiring something extra (light jacket/sweater), so between not feeling up to snuff and it cooling off, this was a perfect resolution.
Don't know if anyone out there has made the homemade cream of tomato soup, but it is absolutely delicious! (Issue 52, August 2005, page 25). The recipe calls for a dollop of heavy whipped cream to finish the soup off, did not have any, so put in some crumbled bleu. WOW! Very different and very, very yummy!!! The tomato soup was definitely "smooth and creamy" and the addition of the bleu cheese added that zap, the tang that bleu has. It was just enough, not over the edge.
Also made the Bleu Tomato sandwiches but used my new Panini grill vs. the traditional fry pan grilled cheese method the recipe calls for. These, too, were fabulous! (same issue, opposite page, 24).
Both of these are updates on the traditional, comfort foods, and are definitely on the make again soon list!
