First, we get those mushrooms reconstituted. Should take about 30 minutes in this lukewarm water, which gives me time to get started on the tomatoes.

I managed to get most of the seeds out with cheese cloth, but that was such a messy process I didn't get pictures, except of the aftermath. I think this is why campari aren't a common choice for soup and sauces.

Now I'm chucking in the tomato stem and thyme. Supposedly the stem is the secret to a good, bright tomato flavor.

Looks thin, so I'm glad I reserved that half-spoiled tomato. I think I can salvage it and have some tomato chunks in the soup.

Now to add further body to the soup, I'm gonna put some onion through the food processor and add that.

Yeah I did fuck it up didn't I? Oh well. The rest should go off without a hitch. Speaking of, the mushrooms got some black pepper and are now going in.

It's looking and sounding tasty, I'm in bed and now I want to raid the fridge, I have work in 8 hours, fucking hurry it up, I've been waiting for over an hour, don't expect a tip.

Lol okay. It actually is looking edible so that's good. Now I'll just sauté some of those sweet peppers and make quesadillas with them as filling while the soup simmers.

The soup tastes surprisingly good, but the mushrooms are a bit chewy. Still flavorful though. The quesadillas turned out great as expected. I feel a bit better about myself.

>>9386440

Looks good, OP.

-1 points for lack of meat protons though.

>>9386456
I did have chicken broth in the soup. That plus the mushrooms and the cheese is enough protein for me.

>>9387229
they were dehydrated and came in a sealed bag you dip. He had to soak them in water to re hydrate them. Did you not even read through the thread or look at the photos?
