My First Tomato Soup

This is my first post in quite awhile. I know all you fans out there have really been missing out on me shareing myself with you. I has been quite a whirlwind for the past few months, and I think its safe to say, no that the Fall season is here. Let's cozy up and have bowl of soup.
This is my first tomato soup. I was sitting on the couch today spending a normal Sunday with my NFL on the tube, when the thunder starts up and the rain comes a tumblin' down. My bro in-law, Aaron, comes and joins me, and while we are "Veggin" on the couch; Sabrina, his wife, brings up the "convo" of lunch.
OH...Lunch! That's what time it is! Aaron pipes up and says, so what about the grilled cheese and Tomato Soup thingy. DING! The cozyness of the soup and crunchy/cheesyness of the grilled cheese sets in. Yummm!
But who in there right mind wants plain ole' from the can Tomato Soup. Especially after watching Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives the night before? Seriously!
So, I saunder on back into the pantry and see what we have in stock...:
Green Chiles
Onions
Then off to the fridge I caper...: *hmmm let's see*
Garlic
Green Onions
Sour Cream
Purple Cabbage
Tomatos: Roma, Beefsteak, Capoli, and Green Tomatos.
Perfect, I found my base for the soup.
Let's head off to the spices to see what inspires me!
Paprika
Chili Powder
Red Pepper Flakes
Chicken Boulion Cubes
Kosher Salt
Cracked Pepper
Now! Let Friggin COOK! *In a scotish accent of course*

Prep Work:
Dice 1/2 of a small onion
Mince 3 to 4 cloves of Garlic
Finley dice 3 to 4 Green Onions
Rough Chop The Roma's, Beefsteak's, and Capoli Tomatos
Throw it in to the saute pan and start acting like you are on Iron Chef America!
Let you onions be your guide. As they turn translusant then all you sauteing is done.
Add about a 1 tsp and a 1/2 of the Chili Powder and Red Pepper Flakes, if you like it spicier then 2 tsp of the Red Pepper Flakes.
Add 3 tsp of the Paprika, eye ball it. If it feels like to much then hold back a pinch or two.
Now let all that just get real good and mixed, married, and smelling up the house. Just enough so your wife will come down the stairs and ask..."Um, Brad, what are you cooking?" with a puzzled look on her face. :)
Then, unwrap the boulion cubes, 2, to be precise. Chop them up and throw them in.
Then add 2 cups of water and let it simmer down and reduce until about 1/4 of the liquid is gone. That will give the base enough time to get just right. Taste it a couple of times, season with the salt and pepper to you liking.....
Then dump all of it in to a blender. Cap it and put it on "mix". Then dump 2 a couple of cans of Tomato soup in as you blending, and then put it up to "puree". Check the soup it should be soupy, and cozy, and simply delicious. I would taste it again while it is in the blender, and salt & pepper to taste.
Then make up some grilled cheese sandy's, make it pretty with your sour cream, green onion, extra rough chopped tomatos especially the green ones (they are so tart and cold compared to the hot soup and taste so good to bite into), sliced purple cabbage, and your off like prom dress!
This is pic is how I did it...Enjoy.
I would like to thank a few people for inspiring this creation, Becky because of her fettish with blogs, with out her I wouldn't publish such a thing, Aaron and Sabrina for bring up the perfect cozy comfort food idea, and my wife for being the offical Taste Judge, she liked it!

Sitting next to the most beautiful women in the world...

The house is so quite right now. My wife went to bed early, I have my labtop out and I am just loving her presence. She is so peaceful right now. A little warm under the covers, so she just stuck her leg out to so it will assumingly cool the rest of her body down. I love her. She is a person or awarness in my life that really continually keeps me present. We have had family in town recently, and it has just been a blast. However, ya know when you have company in your home you see more of you company than you do you wife. Yeah. So, it has been about 2 weeks with family in town and I am finally getting some time with her. I love this because I get to just be with her and let my thoughts return to the first time we met. I remember that night, where we just talked and talked and enjoyed each others presence. I remember I told her that she has the most beautiful heart....and she is smooth familar peace in my soul. That feeling is what I still feel now with her.

The past little while I have been diving into the book A New Earth, and the podcasts that go along with it. It has been quite a ride for me to see and experience. She has been lead other directions in her heart, and interestingly enough it is so the same thing. I kinda freaks me out a little bit. She has been studing this past lives path for a little while now and it has just been amazing. To observe from my stand point to see her really be open to the Truth that lies with her creator, and that 100% of her life is his. She is learning so much about the traditions/belief systems that she has agreed to throughout her life and lives, and to see her start to introduce true creation and awareness/conscienceness into her life. I see these belief systems, be it physical, emotional, social, ect. just fall to the wayside with thankfulness in her heart regarding them and the experience that they have lead her to. Yeah, it is isn't all "bunnies and flowers" with each experience, but the breakthrough is much more of the memeory rather than the breakdown.

So wifey, I gots to tells ya a little sumpin.

I love you. From the bottom of my soul, with all of my heart and entire energy and awarness I know that we are one with Father....our creator. Life has been alotted us to share and dwell together in. Thank you for holding to the presence of Creation. Through you vuneralblity you arise in infinte strength. Thank you, my baby, thank you. I praise my Father, the originator of us and our family, for you with every breath of "Live" that I take.

I love you.

your hubby...mmmright?....mmmright!

"that is what the lonley is for"-Dave Wilcox (track 19)

Today is a day of speechlessness...you know how you have that pit in you solar plexus that just tells you somthing is heading your direction and you don't know what. It is just "Something". I has caused me just to sit and think...all day. I returned to the Dave Wilcox Songs & Stories Album on my Ipod today. It was just one of those days. Peaceful...but full of observation and consideration. I am sure that this will be flushed out on a later date.
