With the cooler nights and shorter days, comes the last harvest of my tomatoes. I had so many all at once I decided to make tomato soup. Though it was never a favorite of mine, I set out to create a version that did not taste like Campbell’s — and I did. I think you will like this one as well!
There are several important ingredients to this simple soup that makes it outstanding. Here, use your good homemade chicken broth full of bone building minerals. Fresh, homegrown tomatoes is also key. Nothing beats the taste and freshness of homegrown tomatoes. I miss them already!
Use fresh herbs from your garden if you have them. The important herb in this recipe is the marjoram. I hunted all over town in the spring to find a small plant to place in my herb garden and it did very well. I love this herb — it adds an interesting but not overpowering flavor to soups and sauces.
If you don’t have fresh marjoram, use dried. Just don’t leave it out. For additional good fat, add a dollop of coconut cream in the bowl when you are serving the soup.

What people are saying about Real Food Forager
Jill, you are the QUEEN of cooking videos! I love your videos because they are informative and you explain things so well.
I want to tell you that I made your salmon patties last night and my husband REALLY liked the recipe! That is a MIRACLE… he doesn’t like fish… especially salmon! When I told him what we were having, he made a disgusted-looking face, but he changed his mind when he ate the patties. He told me it was very tasty… much better than the ones his mother used to make!
Your mayonnaise recipe is my favorite mayo recipe. I always make it… I had always used dry mustard before (and safflower oil), but the fresh mustard makes it so much tastier!
And I don’t mind making mayo now that I learned you don’t have to add the oil slowly when you use an immersion blender. It’s so easy to throw everything in the jar at one time and use the stick blender. I make it in the same jar I’m going to store it. Works beautifully! —Victoria B.
I’ve been following your blog for months now and have been cooking your recipes without grains. I’ve already lost almost twenty pounds without even trying to diet! This is amazing as I have had trouble all my life with my weight. It is just eating better that is helping.
I also have had much nicer skin – I always had rosacea and eczema, since going grain-free it has been much better. —Jody D.
I am so excited for this class! To have everything in one place and to get over 80 videos will really help me save time in the kitchen! Following a grain-free diet has really been a benefit to my health and to my son who has learning problems and digestive issues. —Carol C.
