re: Food 

@The_T with hot dog chili you definitely don't want beans

@coriander Incredibles 2 was my first Deeply Disappointing Theatre Experience

@coriander well after looking them up they both haves faces shaped like anton ego's so i get it

@coriander hades to me felt like an action roguelike made by people who didn't like the genre

I liked the game fine but for everything surrounding the core gameplay loop

@The_T its not a large quantity of soup, whatever pot you're going to use for chili would certainly be large enough

I used my ordinary stock pot and it was more than enough. Even a deep skillet would probably be fine

If I weren't using salt I would add lots of garlic, maybe another onion, way more green herbs, more black pepper, and maybe even a little bit of vinegar (add in 1/2 tbsp increments, a little vinegar goes a long way). and more oil

@The_T yeah you can just get in there and mash. or just smash tomatoes to the side of the pot with your cooking spoon

@The_T you don't need one! you can just mash the soup with your soup or a potato masher if you want. or just leave it chunky

@The_T

  • 2 cans tomatoes (whole peeled tomatoes is best, crushed tomatoes is also good)
  • garlic (I used, like, 8 minced cloves? That's equivalent to 2.5-3 tbsp jarlic)
  • 1 diced onion
  • Any combination of oregano, basil, parsley, bay leaf, rosemary, dill. I used a large quantity of dill because that's what I had. It's hard to add too much of any of these unless its rosemary
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Red pepper flakes, to taste (I made it very spicy)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp flour

  • Add enough oil/butter/lard to the pot to cover the bottom. Add the onion and stir occasionally until the onion is translucent.

  • Add the garlic and flour and stir for 30 seconds or so.

  • Optionally add some water/wine/stock and scrape the flour + garlic from the bottom. Then add everything else.

  • Bring to a boil.

  • Cook for 15 minutes.

  • Turn off the heat and stir in cream.

You can also use a stick blender, or an ordinary blender, after the final step to blend everything and give it a smooth consistency. Not doing that gives it a rougher texture that some find desirable.

I'm kind of angry at how easy and tasty homemade tomato soup is
