One of my favorite lunches begin with tomato soup! Some foods transform us to another place and time :
Foods are like that with me, they remind me of different places and times. From my childhood, I look fondly on my favorite lunch whether home or a friends … egg salad sandwich and tomato soup!
Ingredients:
2 cans diced or cut tomatoes
1 can chicken broth
2 cans tomato sauce
1 stick butter
1 tablespoon mixture of salt, pepper and garlic powder
1 cup dried and chopped sweet basil
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Process
1) use a blender to chop tomatoes… but not to the point of a puree
2) add tomatoes, tomato sauce and chicken stock into a large pan or pot under low to medium heat and stir and reduce to slightly thicken
3) add cream, butter, seasonings, a squirt or two of lemon juice and Basil … continue stirring until completely blended and bubbling
Serve with egg salad sandwich!
Bon appetite!

These nice folks have been doing this for over 60 years and they do it right! The food was spectacular… And we were hungry.
Special thanks to my buds at Sunrise Safaris to know just where to go!
Visiting San Francisco there are many fine dining establishments … But my favorite is Kokarri… Fine Greek cuisine! Authenticity is their trademark, including flying a special fish from Greece to accent the meal!
If you get the chance by making an early reservation… This is the place to visit for lunch or dinner!
