Hello All!
I'd like to share with you what I made for dinner today. Today was rainy and cold so I thought soup and something bready with it would be the way to go. I was flipping through food blogs and found a tomato soup that looked good and quick which is perfect for weekdays. As for bread, I found another entry in the same blog that I wanted to try - veggie quesadillas. I know they're different cuisines but it turned out to be a pretty good combo :).
Here is the link to the tomato soup: Creamy Tomato Soup. I made a few changes - instead of 3 cups of milk, I put in 2 cups of 2% milk and 1/2 cup of heavy cream. I also added in about 2 cups more of tomato juice so in total about 5 cups went in. I also added 4-5 leaves of fresh chopped basil. On a scale of 1-5, I would rate this recipe a 4. I really liked the creaminess but it wasn't as tomatoish as normal tomato soups are.
Here is the link to the veggie quesadillas: Veggie Quesadillas with Chipotle Cream. I followed this recipe exactly. For the chipotle cream, I put in half a teaspoon more of chipotle in adobo sauce to make it more spicy (me + spice = paartay). My hubsy doesn't like the smoky flavor of the adobo sauce so I gave him quesadillas with a dip I had made a few days ago. It's similar to the Creamy Jalapeno Dip at Chuy's. That dip is in my top 5 fav foods for sure! It's linked below. I would rate these quesadillas a 4.5 out of 5. I'll make these again fo sho. I probably won't make the chipotle cream, it was just 'eh.. Maybe it needs to sit for a night for the flavors to meld together.
Link to the creamy jalapeno dip: Chuy's Creamy Jalapeno Dip. It's similar to their dip but not exactly the same thing. But still it makes everything taste better!
