Our neighbor left a bag of tomatoes on our porch, and we returned from Indy with another bag from Mark’s folks.
Some of the bigger ones went into a tomato salad.
The cherry tomatoes became bruschetta. Or at least they were supposed to. I wasn’t in the mood to chop them by hand, so I decided to throw them in the blender, splash them with olive oil, sprinkle with oregano and pepper and garlic powder (would have also used basil if I hadn’t used the last of it in the salad), and chopped on the blender’s lowest setting.
The result is, well, bruschetta soup.
I suppose one advantage to chopping by hand is that most of the watery juice runs off so you get nice chunkiness instead of soup.
It still tasted good, just watered-down thin.
Marcy…I’m sure it was still fantastic.
You know what, you could have just used that mixture as a pasta sauce. I bet that would have been scrumptious as well, and would be the right consistency. Yummy!

Don’t you hate it when stuff like this happens? Ah, I hate it.
Bruschetta soup can also be the start of spaghetti sauce.

See, that would never have occurred to me. I was in a hurry anyway and had made the toast already, so we just dipped instead of using it as a topping.
