For those with half shares, this is “B” week.

Serving Suggestions:

  • I’ve been a subscriber to Milk Street magazine since their charter issue. I don’t read every issue cover to cover any more but I occasionally a recipe will catch me like a eureka moment. I haven’t tried this recipe for Butter Braised Tomato Soup just yet but my next batch of CSA tomatoes are destined for the Dutch oven. We often try to enjoy all of our CSA tomatoes raw to get their full potential but this recipe feels like it gives the tomatoes the reverence they deserve. (apologies for posting a photo of the printed recipe, I couldn’t find a non-paywall copy of it anywhere online)
