"My name is Brandon Sarkis on behalf of Expert Village and I am making Tomato Soup. Now what we are going to do is take all of our tomatoes and put them in this pan, seed side up. It doesn't matter if they touch. Now a lot of people will tell you to cut the core part out of the top. We are going to puree the soup anyway and the way that we are going to cook it is it is not going to take long enough where it is going to matter that that part is in there but if you insist, feel free to cut it out if you like. All right so we've got all of out tomatoes in here, nice and tight which is good. All right so we are going to take a little salt and pepper here. I always you a salt mill and pepper mill because you get a much fresher tasting salt and pepper that way. The pre-ground pepper just doesn't do it for me at all. It is really dry and doesn't have the same crispness of flavor if you ask me. The only way to get good pepper is have a pepper mill. So that is done and now we are going to take these tomatoes and throw them in the broiler for about 5 to 10 minutes until they brown off on top, sort of dry up a little bit. While that is happening, we are going to go ahead and chop up everything else. "
