Green tomato soup is a surprisingly delightful soup course that holds flavors of the late summer harvest. Simmered green tomatoes give the soup a slightly tart, mellow flavor, balanced by the smokiness from cooked country ham. Whether served hot or cold, this soup is a great way to utilize the last of the garden's green tomatoes!

GREEN TOMATO AND COUNTRY HAM SOUP
This is an American recipe for green tomato use. As an American I have had to English up the measurements so if they seem too much please feel free to 'fix' them. My number one rule about food is "Play with it, experiment with the spices and amounts. Find what works for you and go with it."
