THE RED PEPPER AND TOMATO SOUP IS GIVEN A HOT KICK WITH FRESH SERRANO CHILI. THE RECIPE CALLS FOR CANNED TOMATOES, BUT I WOULD NEVER DISCOURAGE YOU FROM SUBSTITUTING FRESH TOMATOES.
TOMATO TOMATO IS SO NAMED BECAUSE IT IS PURE TOMATO — NO ADDED LIQUID OR STOCK. WHEN TOMATOES ARE IN SEASON, I BUY A CASE FROM TUTTI FRUTTI FARMS, REDUCE IT TO PULP, AND PUT IT THROUGH A FOOD MILL TO ELIMINATE THE SKINS AND SEEDS. I FREEZE A LOT FOR THE LONG WINTER IN QUART CONTAINERS. BUT BY REDUCING A FEW QUARTS, YOU END UP WITH A SOUP WHICH IS INTENSELY AND PURELY TOMATO.
