2 ½ cups carrots, sliced into about ¾” pieces
1 cup milk, half-and-half, or evaporated milk
1 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp flour or corn starch
1 tsp sage
1 Tbsp cilantro
½ tsp nutmeg
1 Tbsp minced green onion
¼ cup chopped tomato
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground pepper
Boil carrots in salted water until soft, there is no resistance to being pierced with a fork. Drain, reserving ¾ cup of broth. Put carrots, broth, milk, and tomato in the blender.
In the pot, cook over low heat the butter, flour, sage, cilantro, and green onion. Add this to the blender and blend until it is completely smooth.
Return to the pot. Stir in the nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Bring the soup back up to a hot temperature, and serve.
Makes 2-4 servings.

Crust:
1 cup flour
1 tsp dried ground tomato
½ tsp dill weed
6 Tbsp butter
½ tsp salt
¼ cup water
Filling:
5 eggs
1 ¼ cup milk
1 ½ cups diced onion
1 Tbsp oil
¾ cup cheese, shredded or cubed small
1 tsp black pepper
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Put the onion and oil in a small pan over medium-low heat. Cover and let cook until they are translucent.
Stir together the flour and spices for the crust. Cut in the butter until there are no more large chunks. Dissolve the salt in the water and stir into the flour mixture until it forms a dough. Press the dough onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9” square or circular baking pan. (Or you can roll the crust out on a floured surface.) Chill until needed.
Whisk together the eggs, milk, and pepper until it is completely mixed, then stir in the cheese.
Spread the onions in the bottom of the crust. Pour in the egg mixture.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until top and crust are lightly browned.

4 Tbsp butter
½ cup – 1 cup diced onions
4 lbs tomatoes, diced
¼ tsp thyme
½ tsp basil
¼ tsp black pepper
3 Tbsp flour
2 cups vegetable stock or chicken broth
¼ tsp baking soda
3 Tbsp sugar
1 ½ cups evaporated milk (12 oz can)
½ tsp salt
6-10 slices of bacon
In a large saucepan, saute the onions in the butter until tender, about 10 minutes (do not brown). Add the tomatoes, thyme, basil and pepper. Simmer 10 minutes. Whisk the broth and flour together and add to the soup mixture. Cover and simmer for 25 minutes, then remove from heat.
Fry the bacon until crispy and let cool, then crumble. Puree the soup in a blender, then return to the stove. Stir in the baking soda, sugar, milk, salt, and bacon. Heat, stirring, to a bare simmer, just to get it hot again.
Serves 3-4 people.
