This morning’s experiment turned out much better than expected! A great combination of flavors and textures: savory, sour, sweet, hearty, and comfortable.

Good with home fries and a glass of apple juice. =)

Whipped this one up for myself this mornin. I had some left over egg whites from a Coco-Choco experiment and some tomatoes that were on the verge of expiring… this is what happened.

I was inspired to make a soup with a high nutrient-density… and also taste good. What happened was so good.

Scored some beautiful and tasty tomatoes at the Ferry Building farmers market on Saturday after a bike ride to Marin. When you find tomatoes sold with dirt on them… you know they’re gonna be good.
