No worries, Kelly! Sriracha is an Asian hot sauce. It's pretty readily available (Whole Foods usually has it), and has a recognizable bottle. Here you go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sriracha_sauce

Sounds yummy. Question (which may demonstrate my culinary ineptitude) for you - what is sriracha sauce?

That poem is the sweetest, I love it! And the soup looks amazing, obviously. Love, an ex-blue-cheese-hater

You are my tomato soup-
The most inviting of all sustenance.
Sometimes you are cheesy,
And you bring a mirthful joy
into my life.
But I appreciate you most for your essentials-Your warmth and smoothness,
Your soothing coating which
Never hesitates to protect,
And delighting chunks of personality
Always rising to the surface--
I greet them all with a spoonful of spark.
You, my friend adorned who
Needs no adornments,
You are my tomato soup.

Thank you for your hospitality, my dear dear Maggie.

I would rather enjoy reading that poem about tomato soup :)

So I LOVE my immersion blender!! I am definitely going to check out this recipe. That added blue cheese sounds divine!

Hey Samma - You probably registered for the Breville, which is the best on the market and priced that way. I considered that one, but decided I'd start at the low end first, since the bulk of what I'd be using it for was simple soup pureeing, as with this recipe. I bought this Kitchenaid on Amazon and love it: http://www.amazon.com/KitchenAid-KHB100ER-Hand-Blender-Empire/dp/B00008GSA5/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1257871901&sr=8-2. I can't tell you how much easier it makes soups and sauces, especially since I use an enormous (and enormously heavy) dutch oven that would make pouring hot liquids a major hassle.

On that note, I was going to do a post soon for EAD Living summing up some of my kitchen must-haves, so I'll let you know when it's there.

Can't get enough tomato soup recipes! With my husband’s work schedule I often cook for myself and I usually make soup – most often tomato or roasted cauliflower. Thanks for a new addition!

Oh, and the soup sounds super good. I eat tomato soup constantly, and apparently say "tomay-toe soooop!" in such a way that Hubs feels the need to exclaim it whenever I mention the word tomatoes, dinner or soup.

Tell me about your immersion blender. I registered for an awesome one at WS, then no one bought it for me- I assume no one know what it was.
