April BUNKO!

Hey girlies...April BUNKO will be on the 16th at the PV clubhouse. Mark your calendars! By the way I TOTALLY MISSED YOU ALL THIS MONTH.

Oh, and also...THANK you Lizzy for putting up that recipe. I've been wanting it since your scrumptious meal!

Love ya all,
Brooke

SOUP recipe

Okay Ladies here it is as promised:
Nordstroms Tomato Basil Soup

• 1 cup canned peeled plum tomato (ROMAS)
• 1/4 lb carrot, chopped
• 1/4 lb onion, chopped
• 1/3 tablespoon dry basil
• 1/8 cup olive oil
• 1/4 gallon water
• 1/8 lb chicken base
• 1/4 quart heavy cream
• 1/3 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1/3 tablespoon black pepper

Directions

1. In a large stock pot, sautee the olive oil, carrots, and onions at medium heat for 15 minutes. (until carrots are really soft)
   

2. Add the basil, salt, pepper, and tomatoes and bring to a simmer.

3. In a large bowl, whisk the chicken base into the water until dissolved.

4. Add the water mixture to the stock pot, bring to a boil, and then simmer for 45 minutes.

5. Puree the soup using a hand blender while adding the heavy cream until it reaches a thin consistency.

I actually put everything into a blender and puree it until it is creamy. Also, you can totally used canned tomatoes. GOOD LUCK. I will get the bread stick recipe on here next!

Mark your Calendars!

Bunko for March is going to be on the 12th at the PV clubhouse. Mark your calendars. Also, if you haven't paid Trena, please do so ASAP.

I also wanted to remind everyone that if you won't be at Bunko, please let us know as soon as you can so that we aren't scrambling at the last minute to find subs.

Thanks! I just love this group. I honestly have a BLAST every month hanging out with you all!
Love ya all,
Brooke
