This wonderful tomato soup recipe comes from the Bistro Jeanty restaurant (one of my favourite spots) in Yountville, California. I love the cuisine and the delightful French ambiance of this bistro.  The minute you open the door the aromas from the kitchen transport you to the countryside of France. From the minute you pull your car in to the parking lot the "french" feeling begins with the bicyle and potted flowers to the welcoming awning over the door. Take a moment to "feel" the French Bistro of Napa Valley, Bistro Jeanty-turn up your volumne and enjoy........... His Cassoulet is simply amazing. He uses his smoked confit de Cannard in this Haricot Tarbais dish along with Toulousain style sausages. It is the epitome of Fall-Winter comfort food. A meal at Bistro Jeanty whether eaten at the bar or at a wooden table while sipping local Napas Valley wine is heaven! No meal is complete without a bowl of his famous Creme de Tomate en Croute. Now you can impress your family and friends and make this amazing gourmet bowl at home. Key is using heirloom tomatoes-those juicy summer, vine ripe real tomatoes! For a variation use yellow tomatoes (Yellow Brandywine) or orange tomatoes (Aunt Gertie’s Gold)! Want to grow your own Heirloom Tomatoes? Learn how free plus free seed bank of heirlooms.
