Very good Chef John - that looks very very good. You've nailed it I think. Excellent work my friend !!!

Ron, I've frozen three bowls of it for when the temps drop and still have one bowl of frozen chicken soup left. I'm somewhat ready for the arrival of old man winter. Regards, John

Very impressive John! I think you may be the new Arkansas version of Justin Wilson the Cajun Chef! Great food and great stories.

Love the hat! Good Enough, John! Soup looks delicious! Frank

Frank, The soup wasreally good, but next time I'll eliminate the thyme. I'm not a big fan of it. Regards, John

Hi John, I too enjoy walking round historical themed attractions: Dragonstone sounds wonderful. Tomato and basil soup is definitely delicious. My late paternal grandma occasionally prepared beef sausage (and meatballs sometimes) with onions, tomatoes, and basil. I’m not a huge sausage, or Swedish style meatballs fan but gran’s sausage, and meatballs tasted superb. Love the chefs hat: certainly contributes a je ne sais quoi. Regards, PB.

Phil, Thanks, my friend. "a je ne sais quoi"? If you do, you'll clean it up. 😋 Regards, John

I tried tomato soup with just salt and pepper added it was really nice yours looked really tasty too.

[@joernone]

David, Tomato soup with salt and pepper has always been one of my fav go-tos. I don't plan to stop now.😋 Regards, John

Didn't I see you on a can of Chef Boyardee in your younger days? Or possibly you're Claude Monet without the beard? At any rate that's quite the hat you're sporting 'ol bean! Now you know what goes great with a bowl of tomato basil soup? A nice grilled cheese sandwich! Try that sometime. They go together like bacon and eggs. Delicious! Greg (edit: I heard you mention at the end about whipping up a grilled cheese sandwich...great minds!)

[@joernone]

Gavin, I did later finish that bowl with a grilled cheese sammich. They definitely do go together. 😁 Regards, John

That looks delicious. One tube of basil was enough? We have some basil in our garden but it was not a very good year for most things.

[@joernone]

Doug, I figured it would take two, but one tube was enough. I think a second tube would have overpowered the tomato taste. Regards, John

Long time NO see, how strange I was going to call you, see how you are doing...

Brother Mac, You've been slacking, my friend. I've uploaded three vids in as many weeks. Get on the stick, now.😋 Regards, John
