Pinterest Cooking- Day 2

When I first found Pinterest, I got excited about the ability to gather my online recipes and keep them all together. Gone was the need to remember which recipe was on which site. At Pinterest, all I had to do was click on the picture and, ta-da, I was immediately taken to the original site.

Except...I forgot that websites can change their data.

Night two of cooking through Pinterest, I decided to make one of my favorite soups; Tomato Basil Soup I opened up my pin and nooooooooo, the recipe had been altered.

I had to make a choice. Go with this new (probably healthier) recipe, or go from memory to the yummy goodness that I knew. I opted for trying to replicate the soup the I had already made several times. Here is my list of ingredients:

 

 

2 (28 oz) cans crushed tomatoes

1 (14.5 oz) can chicken broth

1 tsp sugar

18 fresh basil leaves, chopped

1/2 cup butter

1 cup heavy cream

 

It's pretty much the same instructions (maybe add the sugar when the tomatoes and broth boil).

 



For me, grilled cheese is a MUST with tomato soup:

 



 

 

Final lesson: if I find a recipe I love, print a hard copy just in case.
