When not feeling like a heavy meals.
I made some tomato soup yesterday as I have not been feeling that great.
Boiled a chicken carcass most of day. In the broth I threw in an onion. Mixed spices from my cupboard, turmeric bay leaves garlic pepper. Strained and skimmed to let the fat rise to the top.
Then added a large jar of homemade tomatoes that also had a variety of herbs from my patio.
So good and soothing to the throat.
Total Time: 15 min.
Ingredients:
2 lemons, zested
3/4 cup of sugar
1/2 stick unsalted butter, room temperature, (4 tbsp)
2 large eggs
1/4 cup lemon juice (2-3 lemons)
Pinch of salt
Directions:
Combine the zest of 2 lemons and the white sugar together with your fingers until it's well combined and the sugar is fragrant. Set aside.
Cream the butter with a hand mixer until creamy and smooth. Add the fragrant sugar and blend until well combined. Add the eggs, one at a time and mix thoroughly. Add the lemon juice and salt and blend until well combined.
Pour into a small sauce pan and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until thickened, about 10 minutes at about 170 degrees. Remove from heat and let cool before pouring it into a container. Serve with tarts or pie Store, well sealed, in the refrigerator. Enjoy.
