What kind of tomatoes do you use?
Hi Kailyn.
Any fresh tomato will do. However, I prefer Roma Tomatoes.
Thanks for your question. Be blessed on your fast.
Hi! Thank you for this recipe. My husband and I enjoyed it on our Daniel Fast. Just wanted to share a tip that I believe my mother learned as an au pair in France: You can use all the green parts of the leeks as well, just sauté them first – as you have already put instructions for in the recipe. We did this, and it turned out well.
May be a stupid question but do you cook the kernal or just the cob?
Aurora I used a can of corn . And added that in my pot with the other vegetables and broth. Surprisingly it wasn’t as at all.??
