Our garden has been horrible the last couple years. Need to amend the soil this fall. Luckily my mom has had bunker crops so I took some of her tomaters and roasted then in the SMJ and made a tomato soup. Can't have tomato soup without grilled cheese. So I made a loaf of bread. Topped with smoked cheese and grilled up in the CI with a good amount of butter!

That looks great Case. Tomato soup and grilled cheese I grew up on that...good stuff. Have to look into making my own tomato soup, I can't used the canned stuff now, too much sodium in it.
 
Case that looks delicious. Tomato soup and grilled cheese always goes together, good stuff.

Thank you!

Pretty simple to make the soup. Halve a bunch of tomatoes, drizzle with olive oil, salt pepper. Roast either in the smoker or the oven.

Sautee a finely diced onion in a Dutch oven. You can add garlic too. Add tomatoes. cover with water add what ever other spices you like (salt pepper basil, parsley, sage, etc). Simmer down and reduce to about 1/2. Now you can add cream or half and half and bring to boil. Remove from heat. Blend. I use an immersion blender right in the pot. If you use a standard blender do small batches as the hot liquid will expand and its possible to get burnt.
For a smoother soup strain after blending.

Serve

Thanks for the recipe Case, I will definitely be giving that a try. I love using my boat motor (immersion blender) makes every thing so creamy.

What's with snow on Monday, that doesn't sound to good:p
 
Grilled cheese and tomato soup are favorites at our house, but our bread never looked that good. That is beautiful.

Hate to be that guy, but I couldn't help but notice the "bunker crops" reference. The term for an unusually large harvest is a bumper crop.

That got me wondering where the term came from. Turns out they aren't quite sure. The Oxford English Dictionary tracks its usage back to England in the 1700s, but the etymology is not certain.

This guy dug into it, but he did not find a definitive answer. https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/47739/what-is-the-etymology-of-the-adjective-bumper
 
OT: I remember being told that bumper crop meant that there was so much weight from the big harvest that the trucks bumper was dragging on the ground. I'd hunker in a bunker with this soup & sandwich............ need to send CaseT to the relief effort...........you know this would be well received :)

Yes that was supposed to be Bumper Crop, but auto correct got the best of the post...
