Easy Homemade Soup →[More:]Here's a soup I scammed the recipe from an Indian restaurant. It is butt-simple, healthy and delicious:

special equipment:
blender or food processor
sieve

ingredients:
1 28 oz can of whole tomatoes in juice
masala powder
salt

Dump contents of can into blender. Blend until smooth. Pour through sieve into a non-reactive pan. Heat until warm, add masala powder (between 1/8 tsp and 1/2 depending on how spicy you want it). Salt to taste - you won't need much.

That's not soup, that's a warm, virgin Bloody Mary.

I just so happen to have such a can of tomatoes. Sunday's lunch, I believe.

I don't have masala powder, but I do have my mix jar. When leftover herbs and spices get low, I dump them into a jar I keep at the stove. I started a new one today with onion powder, dried california chili, and italian seasoning.

"a warm ... Bloody Mary" = the new eggnog for 2007

And i'm out of bloody mary. You mock me.

no, no. A warm virgin bloody mary would use Whatsthishere sauce, tabsasco, horseradish and celery seed.

Oddly enough, when I'm cooking with canned tomatoes, I almost always make a bloody mary from the juice, which is never really smooth like tomato juice so it's really more of a spotting mary, IYKWIMAITYD.

Thank y'all for making me crave a bloody mary here in the middle of the night when I have no way of getting one.
