This soup was an utter failure.
I roasted a bunch of green tomatoes, thinking I could salvage them from the fall garden. I'd make roasted green tomato soup like this one from Fresh Bites Daily and maybe a salsa verde sauce. In went the roasted green tomatoes and poblanos and garlic. Added some cream. Cooked and pureed and made a general mess of the place. Here's what it looked like with some basil:
Not too shabby looking and...it tasted like crap. Bitter and vaguely metallic, maybe even a tad caustic. That's when I found this post from Jolene George of The Oregonian. Check it out for some guidelines about using them before you launch Operation: Strip Garden Bare like I did.
Now it lives in our compost bucket, we know better, and we had a frozen pizza and brownies for dinner.
