GOURMET FRIDAYS- WEEK 2

WEEK 2 "Chilled Tomato Soup with Chipotle Cream"
Well... i think it was way spicier than it was supposed to be... some how. I also did not add horse radish and i also did not chill it atleast 4 hours.
But the dish snuck up on me. I actually really enjoyed it and I am not a "tomato guy".
Great side dish to do! It was fun and made my tastebuds dance!!
