Tiny potato and tomato soup lunch

Making:

Herbs de Provence Tomato soup with potato dippers

Here's what I have:

1 tbsp Butter cut in half
1.5 cups Tomatoes 
1/8 cups Heavy cream 
Salt 
Pepper 
1 tbsp Herbs de Provence 

Not pictured:
1.5 small Yukon gold Potatoes 
Olive oil
Mozzarella cheese 

Preperation:

Last minute I decided to add some potato dippers. I cut up some Yukon Gold potatoes, drizzled them with olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper. These went into the small convection oven at 375 for 25 minutes.

To make the soup in a small pan I added half the butter with the tomatoes cooked at medium heat until the tomatoes were soft. Taking a spoon I mashed up the tomatoes in the pan while cooking and then added the salt, pepper, remaining butter and heavy cream. Stirred well and turned to low heat. Once the potatoes were 5 minutes away from being done I added the Herbs de Provence, stirred again and let the soup rest. 

During plating a bit of mozzarella was added to the potatoes.

The bowls!

This is another quick cook and is one of my favorites to make. The soup was ready by the time the potatoes were done. I prefer mine chunky but this can be blended before adding the herbs de province for a smoother consistency.

Cheese tortilla party

Making:  Cheese tortilla! 6 servings prepared. Here's what I have: 284 Grams of king Arthur masa harina 60 Grams cheese powder  30 Grams butter powder  419 grams hot water  Preparation: The dry ingredients were combined in the mixing bowl. With the stand mixer set to stir I slowly added the hot water until the dough ball formed. Once everything was well Incorporated the adult wall was divided into six portions. A damp paper towel was placed over the dough so it didn't try out as the tortillas were cooked.  Using a parchment lined tortilla press each dough ball was pressed just before cooking on the Comal. Each side was allowed to cook for 30-45 seconds before flipping. This allowed each side to dry out just enough. The second cook was done until the tortilla puffed up and Browning was beginning to form.  The plate! - Kris
