Here’s a favorite recipe that holds a significant taste memory to me. My grandmother picked me up from nursery school on a rainy day and took me back to her house, where she had a bowl of cream of tomato soup and an egg salad sandwich waiting for me.
This take on that taste memory includes white beans in the soup, giving this rustic dish an added creamy texture and thickened consistency without the addition of dairy. The mix of tomatoes includes canned fire-roasted tomato sauce, canned peeled tomatoes, and sun-dried tomatoes. Make sure to use the bottled sun-dried tomatoes in oil for this recipe.
