It is cold outside. Maybe not for natives of non-tropical states, but I've been freezing most of the week. Soup seemed like a logical choice for dinner, especially since I've been craving one of my favorite restaurants from Orlando -- Sweet Tomatoes.
It is a pretty simple concept. Picture a typical salad bar buffet and double the size of it. Add in every possible salad topping ever. Then throw in fresh fruit, a soup bar with about 6 or 7 types of soup, a baked potato bar and some fresh, hot pastas, and freshly baked breads and muffins and you've got a Sweet Tomatoes. I love it. And I always feel good when I eat there, because no matter how much I eat, I don't get the awful gross full feeling eating at a buffet normally causes.
Anyway, Sweet Tomatoes has a delicious Potato Rosemary Soup, and since the closest location is in North Carolina, I decided to try to replicate it.
I used this recipe only I really didn't measure any of the seasonings by hand. And I substituted chili powder for the cayenne, because I forgot to buy cayenne at the store. We also put a bit of Tabasco sauce on top.
My roommate played photojournalist for the evening and helped photograph the process. Here are some of the shots:
