Austria is cold. One of the fun things, food-wise, about living in a cold country is that you can make lots and lots of different soups! And I absolutely LOVE soup. I recently bought a hand blender and I've been going crazy making soups. One day I made a broccoli and asparagus soup, another day I made lentil soup and yesterday I made tomato soup. I also made a grilled cheese sandwich with prosciutto. It was the perfect winter meal.
I used canned tomatoes for this soup. Just empty the canned tomatoes into a pot, add chicken stock, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and a bit of lemon juice. Let it boil. When it's boiling take it off the stove and blend everything together using a hand blender or any plain old blender. After everything is blended, put it back in the pot, back on the stove and then add shredded cheese to it. That's it!
To make the grilled cheese, I got two slices of whole wheat bread--put in lots of gouda slices, some garlic, and the prosciutto. Just put it in a sandwich maker and voila!
Happy eating!
