Recipe: Variation on Tomato soup

Recipes are not finished, this is a first draft of the sequencing of the recipe.
It does not come with reliable measurments. It does not come with diagramming of chopping or stirring. It is merely the first draft of the sequenced recipe.

Variation on Tomato soup - coconut edition:


This makes about four servings, it is nice with toppings if you have the energy [such as noodles, baked onions, meat of some kind, a sarnie, or a cheesy toast]. It is chunky in this version, one can blend the tomatoes before adding them to the pot, and thus getting a smooth tomato soup.

Left-overs can be saved in the fridge. And for later consumption, here is a re-heating instruction:

2. Get bowl.
3. Add portion of soup to bowl.
4.  Put paper towel or microwave lid on bowl.
5. Microwave ~60 seconds at high.
6. Get spoon.

8. Eat.

 
Or
Stove way:
1. Get soup.
2. Get spoon.
3. If not already in pot: get pot.
4. If not already in pot:transfer as much soup as you need to pot.
5. Put pot on the hob.

7. Heat soup whilst stirring.
8. Turn off hob.
9. Get bowl.
10. Pour soup into bowl.  [You can eat out of the pot. It is allowed.]

If you, however unlikely, don't want to eat the same thing for days in a row, you can divide the left-overs into portion size and freeze. When you do feel like having tomato soup, take a portion and follow one of the above heating instructions with accomodations for the fact that the soup is frozen, not chilled. This means it will take longer.
