We have this fabulous little bistro near us that serves the most delicious food.
It’s quaint, it’s delicious, and I love meeting friends there.
One wall in the restaurant is a big window so you can watch the pastry chefs preparing pie crusts, rolls, and desserts. Lisa Dupar is the owner of this restaurant and has this fabulous cookbook with recipes from the bistro. While I don’t own the cookbook yet, my friend Lissa was kind enough to share a recipe for the soup I get every single time I go there.
I will say, I am not a huge tomato soup fan.
But I could seriously eat their tomato soup daily, along with their fabulous house salad.
So, although I haven’t made it yet, I thought I’d share the recipe with you.
It looks fairly simple to make, not many ingredients and it looks like it will serve a crowd.
Isn’t Lisa a doll?
Ok, without further adieu, here is the recipe for Pomegranate’s tomato soup.

I've made a fool of myself over her fantastic catered food. Didn't know about Pomegranate, and in Redmond too! Call me up & I'll go to lunch with you. Michelle

This soup sounds amazing. I have a couple of favorite Bistros, one in my Home town and one here where I live now. I nearly always order champagne, and tonight we had it with Pizza. Came home kicked my feet up and sipped away. The book sounds wonderful, and I love trying new recipes. Thanks so much for sharing, tami
