CHUNKY TOMATO SOUP (USE FRESH OR CANNED TOMATOES)

Steps:

• 1. In a saucepan (or soup pot), saute onion, celery and carrots in butter until soft but not brown.
• 2. Add tomatoes and a small amount of vegetable (or chicken) stock/broth. Simmer 20 minutes.
• 3. In a soup pot, combine sauteed vegetables, remaining broth and rice. Season with salt, thyme and pepper. NOTE: If you use the soup pan to saute the vegetables (step 1), you can just combine everyting in that one pot (and not dirty up another pan).
• 4. Simmer 20 to 30 minutes. Serve garnished with parsley and grated parmesean cheese, if desired.
• 5. NOTE 1: TOMATOES: When using canned, diced tomatoes, don't use petite diced. I use Southern Home brand, which are more chunky. Also, just spoon the diced tomatoes out of the can and discard or save the juice for something else.
• 6. NOTE 2: I used 2 (4 cup; 32 oz size) cartons of vegetable stock. I actually used one of vegetable stock and one of vegetable broth. If you don't want it vegetarian, you can use chicken broth and/or stock.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots, celery, pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes.

• Meanwhile, cut the blood sausage into 1/2-inch rounds. Heat a small amount of oil in a nonstick skillet and add the blood sausage slices in small batches. Cook until the blood sausage is crispy and browned and has a deep flavor, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Set aside to drain on a rack or on paper towels. Repeat until all the blood sausage is cooked.
• Serve the soup hot in bowls with the blood sausage and scallions on top. Serve with Tombstone Crackers.

• Add the water and pulse just until the dough starts to stick together (about 10 seconds). Remove the dough, press together gently with your hands to form a single square mass, and cut into four squares. Let the dough rest for about 10 minutes at room temperature.
• Roll out each individual piece of dough on a lightly-floured surface into a rectangle as thin as you can possibly get it. If the dough starts to shrink up, let it rest a little longer. Cut the rectangle in half lengthwise. Cut each half into 2-inch-wide pieces. Place the pieces on the baking sheet.
• Bake, checking periodically to make sure the crackers aren't getting too brown, for 4 to 5 minutes, then flip each cracker piece and bake another 4 to 5 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet to get crispy.

CHALET GIRL'S CHUNKY TOMATO AND BASIL SOUP

Steps:

• Finely chop onions. Melt butter in a large pan. Gently cook onions in butter until soft and translucent, low heat.
• Add the sugar and vinegar to slightly caramelise the onions, stir. Then add the flour. Cook flour out for 1-2mins stirring continuously.
• Add the tomatoes and stir to get any sticky bits off the bottom of the pan. Don't break up the tomatoes, leave whole. Add the stock cube and enough boiling water to give 'soupy' consistency (don't want it to be too runny). Bring soup to the boil then turn down and simmer for about 45mins/1hour.
• Add the basil (as much as you want or have, a few table spoons maybe). Stir well. Taste - add seasoning (salt and pepper) as required and more sugar if still slightly too acidic.
• For chunky soup, use a potato masher to break up the tomatoes, giving a chunky texture. Or, use a hand blender or put in liquidiser. You could blend all the soup or just part of it - however you like it!
• To serve, put the soup in a bowl and finish with a drizzle of cream in a circular motion to create a swirl (partly for appearance, but also tastes good with the soup) and add a sprig of basil. Delicious served with crusty bread or baguette.
