This soup, derived from Jacques Pepin, was simply intended to use up a ton of CSA tomatoes before they went bad. Turned out to be a total acid bomb.
The french fries hail from Bittman's How to Cook Everything Vegetarian... They are oven baked, not fried, and turned out pretty well. I made up an avocado yogurt dipping sauce by combining one avocado, a half cup yogurt, some diced onion, a garlic clove, salt, pepper, and a little lemon juice in a blender.
