It’s taken a few days but the tomato soup is finally done. We ended up with about four quarts. We ate two of them today. Send more tomatoes.

Cost per person: $1.20 per person. Mostly in bread and cheese since the tomatoes were free and we used cheap balsamic in the soup. Can you order this anywhere? Of course. But also no.

    I feel like food that takes multiple days to prepare needs a cost of labor included in the estimated price per person

      But there isn’t a way to universally price that. And once society collapses we will all have plenty of free time. I typically charge about $60 to $100 an hour for my labor. Clearly that’s not a viable option for cooking unless someone is going to pay me. Since no one is doing that the value is $0.

        Ain’t no value on my love of sharing food!

        Seriously though, this soup looks amazing. I normally don’t like homemade tomato soups (something in that can…) but your soup looks like it has the perfect texture. Amazing job

          Tomatoes, skins and seeds removed. heat, time. Once the large bits start to fall apart blend it. Add your flavors. It’s stupid simple but takes forever.
