8 quarts of soup

Campbell's tomato soup made with milk was one of the simple foods I missed most when I was in the Air Force. The chow hall would often have tomato soup, but I think it was made with water-not sure the details, but it wasn't good.

Trader Joe's Tomato and Roasted Red Pepper Soup is the first tomato soup I've had that is better than what I grew up with. The texture is right and the flavor is excellent--the peppers and spices make it a good bit more interesting without being excessive. I don't get to Trader Joe's that often, so after trying this soup on our last trip, I decided to stock up this time.

I am a HUGE fan of TJ's tomato and roasted red pepper soup! (and I hate exclamation points) I got it for the first time on my first trip to a Joe's in Atlanta this last February. Tastes great, it's organic and I got 3 or 4 servings for what was it? $1.79 I think. Great stuff. Terrific buy. We're getting two Joe's here in Kansas City this Summer, thankfully. Can hardly wait.

And then there's the wines...

Comment Policy

One of my peeves is blogs that appear to allow comments but don't publish them, or only publish the ones they agree with, not explaining their rules. This is especially annoying when I discover this after spending time on a reply.

So far, I allow all comments that are on topic, without regard to whether they agree with me or not.

If someone makes a comment trying to take an internet squabble to the real world--outing a blogger, posting personal information, etc--I'll probably delete that. I will also probably delete posts that are trying to sell stuff, or promote another website more than they are on topic. Comments on fresh posts get published immediately, unless caught by Blogger's spam filter. Comments on older posts get held until I release them.
