The Luck of the Irish~
May your heart be light and happy,
May your smile be big and wide,
And may your pockets always have
a coin or two inside!
St Patty's day is all about the green... Not just green as in money- although a coin or two when you really need it is great.
What else would you find in the WhistleStop kitchen but some green tomatoes? This is a recipe for a spicy tomato soup. Add more or less jalapenos, mine was pretty spicy. I love cilantro, if you don't -then add less.
Green Tomato Soup
3 green tomatoes
2 jalapeno peppers
2 Tbs olive oil
4 cloves garlic
1 cup diced onions
1/3 cup fresh cilantro
1/4 cup fresh basil
3 cups chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
In a large pot, saute onions and garlic in olive oil. Over low heat add diced tomatoes and diced jalapeno peppers. Add cilantro and basil. Cook until tomatoes are tender. Add broth and simmer uncovered. Scoop tomatoes into the blender and puree until smooth. Reduce heat and add sour cream slowly. Serve with a sprinkle of cheese.
Y'all enjoy!

Very pretty. Wish I ate tomatoes!
That looks fantastic! Do you use unripe regular tomatoes, or tomatillos?
Amy ~ I used green unripe tomatoes, the kind you usually use for frying.
That looks good! I've never had my green tomatoes any way but fried!! :o)
Love your Irish sayings!

Okay - but where do you get green tomatoes this time of year? I'm lucky if I can get my farmer's market to pick (and save me some in August/September).
We love those green tomatoes here in the south don't we??? LOL I am enjoying the Irish quotes. Have a beautiful night....mary
That lively little tomato can get itself stuck in a heck of a lot of recipes...that's why we plant 30 tomato plants at a minimum..not for sell, for home consumption, canning and freezing and to share with neighbors!
