Our Cookbook Blog

Our Cookbook ~ What We Cook, is a compilation of every recipe we (Janice and Carissa) cook - recipes from our cookbook collections, our recipe boxes, and our heads! We set up this blog for friends and family who have our cookbook to let them see pictures we post of the recipes in the book, and also for us to note any corrections, revisions, or additions to What We Cook. We encourage people who are cooking our recipes to let us know how the recipes turn out and any suggestions they might want to make.

In addition, we will be sharing some of our new recipes (along with pictures) that are not in our cookbook. We hope you will help us out and test recipes and give us your comments.

Pesto Tomato Soup ~ page 52


I bet I have made this tomato soup almost a dozen times this last Fall and Winter. Every time I make it I re-buy the ingredients the next time I go to the store so I can always have a "pantry meal" ready and waiting for me. If your store doesn't carry the McCormick dry pesto mix, look for Knorr, they have a dry creamy pesto mix that I use sometimes. If you want it really luxurious try adding more butter...the original recipe had 4 tablespoons of butter. I just cut it down to make it healthier. But if you are wanting to splurge on calories, give it a try!
