the aroma this afternoon as I roasted the vine tomatoes and garlic was divine

shame it tasted pants

feeling very hungry

Oh no, it's terrible when the taste doesn't live up to the smell and anticipation!

I know and the picture looked so good too.

what did you make and from which book?

this

what didn't you like about it oprecisely.? TOmato bread soup is kind of thick and mushy.

Personally I wouldn't have used that type of tomato, probably

none of us liked the taste

nothing to do with consistency

I've made lovely tomato soup before

also it only made enough for two despite saying it served four

two small servings at that!

hmm. it seems simple - maybe not enough ingredients? Also I wouldn't use sour dough as I don't like it, maybe ciabatta or Pugliese

thanks

they seem to have more stock in them which muight help?

but i haven't tried them. Maybe also a plum tomato or Roma instead of a vine. VIne tomatoes aren't my favourites

can you get dry farmed tomatoes there, like 'Early Girls'? They have a really great intense flavour. Here they are in season right now

I thought stock might help.

Can't get early girls

it actually cost me a lot to buy the tomatoes so it was far from an economical dinner

I'd go for plums in that case then. DO you call them plums or Roma's?

plums

plum tomatoes

yes
