Tomato Soup Using Tomatoes from the Garden

September 28, 2012 by Lisa Park + 3 Comments

Garden Fresh Tomato Soup

We’ve been picking a lot of tomatoes from our garden every day, so one of the ways to use them up is to make homemade tomato soup. I really like this recipe.

Be sure to also check out these 12 Favorite Soup Recipes.

Tomato Soup
9 medium firm, ripe tomatoes (skinned and coarsely chopped)
1/2 cup butter (divided)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 teaspoons salt (divided)
1 Tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup flour
4 cups rich milk (part half & half and whole milk)
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions:
1) Simmer skinned and coursely chopped tomatoes in a large saucepan for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add 1/4 cup butter, baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and sugar. Mix and set aside.

2) In a separate large pan, melt remaining 1/4 cup butter. Add flour and 2 teaspoons salt, then add milk. Heat and stir until it begins to boil.

3) Combine the tomato mixture and milk mixture into one pan. Heat slowly. Add pepper and extra salt if needed. Serve as soon as soup is heated through.

We were hoping we would get a few more years out o We were hoping we would get a few more years out of our water heater, but unfortunately after 17 years, it gave out. This morning we had cold showers, which wasn't very fun. ☹️

What I am grateful for is that we have a home repairs sinking fund. This is where you set aside money for expenses that are predictable. You know the expense is coming up, and instead of waiting until you need to pay for the expense and there is no room in your budget for it, you plan ahead by creating a sinking fund and set the money aside until you need to pay for that expense.

We knew that items in our house would eventually get older and we would need to replace them. 

Years ago, we started to set aside a little money each month in an envelope so when a household item breaks or needs replaced, such as our water heater, we can pay for it with cash and not have to go into debt for it. Even $20 or $50 set aside a month will start to add up over time. That may seem like such a small amount. But saving a little money each month is better than nothing.

I also feel grateful that my husband is very good at fixing items around the house. He knows how to install water heaters, which will save us money by doing it ourselves.

If you want to save money on something, not buying If you want to save money on something, not buying anything at all will save you more money than buying something on sale.

Before you purchase something, think about whether you could instead make it yourself, get it used, fix it, do without, or find a less expensive alternative.

When you do head to the store or go online to shop, think before you buy anything by asking yourself these three questions:

- Is this item a necessity?

- Can I absolutely afford this item?

- Have I done everything to ensure that I'm getting the best deal?

If it's something you want, wait 2-3 months to see if you really still want that item. And during that time start to save up for it by putting money aside in an envelope or in an account.

In a few months, there's a chance you might not want it. But if you do still want it, then you've already starting saving money to purchase it so you can pay cash for it.
