Inside: Check out this delicious, flavorful, and easy to make tomato soup recipe which is an easy option for an appetizer or a meal on its own.
If you are like me, there are some nights where you just want to hunker down with a hot bowl of tomato soup. Of course you can always just open a can of soup from the store, but it is so much better for you and tastier as well if you make the soup with fresh ingredients and from scratch.
The delicious recipe I am going to share today may have a lot of ingredients, but it is easy to make and you will love it! It includes fresh herbs, fresh ripe tomatoes, garlic cloves, and other simple ingredients that will give it so much flavor.
Tomato soup in a can is a pantry staple that many people have, but once you have tried this homemade version, you will not go back! Instead of having processed ingredients from the version you buy at the store, this recipe has only fresh ingredients and is made from scratch. I know it may seem daunting, but it is really easy to make.
The combination of flavors from the herbs, tomatoes, and other ingredients will have you going back for more. You can serve this as an appetizer or a side dish to go along with a tasty grilled cheese sandwich, or you can serve it as a main dish. No matter how you eat it, you will not be disappointed, and I am sure you will agree this is the best tomato soup recipe you have tried.
I mentioned above that this recipe has fresh ingredients. This is important so that you can know what you are putting in your body and so that you get the best flavors possible.
To make this recipe, start by gathering the following ingredients:
Now that you have gathered the ingredients, it is time to make the recipe. It is important to wash all of the vegetables and herbs before cooking, so do that first.
Next, you will chop the tomatoes, onion, and garlic cloves and set them aside separately for a later step.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1/2 tbsp of olive oil and butter until the butter just melts. Then add the chopped garlic and onions and let cook until the onions are transparent.
The next step is to add the tomatoes and to continue cooking for 2-3 minutes before adding the salt, pepper, oregano, nutmeg, bay leaves, and basil. Reduce to medium-low heat and stir well. At this point, add the brown sugar, stir well, and cook for about 2 minutes.
After 2 minutes have passed, add the balsamic vinegar and stir well. You can add additional salt and pepper if it is needed at this point. Add everything from the skillet to a blender and blend until smooth, but thick. You can also use an immersion blender at this stage, but I usually just use a traditional blender.
In the same skillet, add another 1/2 tbsp of olive oil and heat over medium heat before adding the blended mixture back to the skillet.
Add the white wine and let cook for 5 minutes.
At this point, the soup is ready, so you can serve it in a bowl topping with a little bit of heavy cream, the cheese, and the croutons.
This recipe is mainly made for soup, however you can make some slight modifications to it so that you can use it for pizza or pasta! The only modification that you need to make for this recipe is to omit the white wine. This will give it a thicker consistency which is perfect for adding to your favorite homemade pizza recipe. You can also use it as an easy sauce for pasta with meat or without meat. You will find that this adds a great flavor to any of your favorite pasta or pizza recipes, so I definitely recommend it.
When I use it for that purpose, sometimes I will add some red pepper flakes to add a bit of heat, but only if I am making it for my husband and me, since some of the kids don’t quite like spicy food yet.
This homemade tomato soup recipe is a hit around our house and is a great way to incorporate healthy ingredients into your diet. The kids love it also, especially when you serve it with tasty cheese sandwiches. I always make a large pot of this when we have it, and there is almost nothing left every time.
It has a mild, but delicious tomato flavor and is great for any time of year.
Let me know in the comments below how it turns out!

Inside: Learn how to make the perfect avocado salsa verde, also known as salsa taquera, which is a great salsa recipe to go with your favorite Mexican tacos.
In Mexico, there are an infinite number of salsa recipes. Any home you go to will have their favorite recipeusing basic ingredients and imparting a ton of great flavors. Salsa is a staple in Mexican foods and you will find it at every table and nearly every meal.
One of the great things about salsa is that you can adjust the heat levels by adding or taking away different peppers, or by changing what kind of peppers you use. For example, for today’s avocado salsa recipe, I use serrano peppers and habanero peppers, so it has the perfect amount of heat for me. However, if you want to make it less spicy, you can replace the habaneros with jalapenos and omit the serranos.
This avocado salsa recipe is also called salsa taquera. This is because it is the perfect salsa to serve on your favorite Mexican tacos, like barbacoa tacos, tacos al pastor, carnitas tacos, and more! It uses fresh avocados, a combination of spicy peppers, fresh cilantro, and other simple ingredients. It has the best flavor and a slightly chunky texture which I love.
Throughout Mexico, you will find “taquerias” or tacos stands, all over the city. You can go right up, tell them what kind of tacos you want and have freshly made tacos on your plate in a matter of seconds. There is no need to wait for taco tuesday in Mexico! Usually they have a variety of salsas that you can choose from, and this avocado salsa is always at the top of the list for me since it is one of my favorite salsa recipes.
There are a few different varieties of avocado salsa. For example, some varieties blend all of the ingredients together to make a creamy avocado salsa, while others (like this recipe) include avocado chunks that are added directly to the sasa verde for a different texture. You can serve it on tacos like I explained above, or you can use it as a yummy dip with fresh tortilla chips.
The key to this homemade salsa recipe is to use the freshest ingredients. For this particular recipe, you will need to gather the following avocado salsa ingredients:
The process is very simple. You will start by making a delicious salsa verde, and then you add in the chopped ingredients at the end to give it this salsa’s signature texture.
Of course it is important to start by washing all of the ingredients first. Once you have done that, add some water to a pot and bring to a boil, adding the serrano peppers (don’t add the habanero to the water, it will be used later).
After 5 minutes, add the tomatillos and let it continue cooking for a few minutes until they start to change color slightly. Remove the peppers and tomatillos from the water and let them cool down.
Once they have cooled, add them to a blender with a little bit of water, the garlic, 1/4 of the onion, a few small pieces of the cilantro, and salt to taste and blend well. Then pour the salsa into a medium bowl and set aside for a moment.
Next, chop the rest of the cilantro and onion and cut the avocado into small chunks. Add the chopped ingredients to the bowl with the salsa and add additonal salt to taste if needed.
Let me know in the comments below how this recipe turned out and what your favorite kind of salsa is to serve with tacos.

Beans, especially black beans, are an extremely important part of Mexican cuisine. They are just as important as tortillas, corn, and peppers and can be found as a side dish for almost any Mexican food you can think of. They are made with very simple ingredients and are so easy to make. I know it can be tempting to use canned refried beans, but trust me, homemade beans are so much better and you can make them using this easy recipe.
This particular recipe has so much flavor, because it adds a little bit of chorizo, but you can use the basic recipe included without chorizo as well. They go perfectly with tortilla chips and are a delicious side dish that blows the canned stuff out of the water.
Refried beans (known as frijoles refritos in Spanish) consists of black beans or pinto beans that are cooked and then fried with pork lard, olive oil, or vegetable oil, and then smashed until you get the perfect consistency. You can find a wide variety of refried beans and they almost certainly offer them as an option at your favorite Mexican restaurant. Next time, can make them at home using this easy to follow recipe.

This delicious refried beans recipe is a perfect side dish for your next Mexican food night. They go great with mexican rice, tortillas, tostadas, huevos rancheros, and more!
To make this recipe, you will start with the following ingredients:
The cooking process if very simple. First, you will heat up the oil or lard in a large frying pan over medium heat. You can also use a large cast iron skillet for even more flavor. If you are going to make the version with chorizo, fry it until well cooked and then set aside.
Next, in the same frying pan, saute the onion together with the garlic until the onion is translucen and you can start to smell the garlic. Then remove them from the frying pan and set aside.
Finally, you will add the beans to the pan and after about a minute, you will want to mash them. For this step you can use a potato masher or something similar. Now you will want to add the chorizo, onions and garlic back to the pan with the beans and add salt to taste.
Once everything is combined, let the beans cook for about 10 minutes, moving them constantly with a wooden spoon so that they don’t burn. Once they have your desired consistency (the best refried beans are creamy refried beans) you will remove them from the heat and serve as a dish with tortilla chips, queso fresco, or tortillas.
These flavorful refried beans can be used for a variety of Mexican dishes also like enfrijoladas, tostadas, and more.
