Recipe of the Month<br />
Tomato Basil Bisque<br />
16 servings<br />
32 oz. tomato puree 1 cup fresh basil — chopped<br />
32 oz. chicken broth 2 tsp. salt<br />
32 oz. crushed tomatoes 2 tsp. black pepper<br />
3 cups heavy cream 2 tbsp. sugar<br />
1 medium onion — finely diced 2 tbsp. vegetable oil<br />
2 cloves garlic — minced<br />
Heat oil in the bottom of a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Sweat onions on medium<br />
heat until soft. Add garlic and cook 2 more minutes. Add broth and puree.<br />
If crushed tomatoes are too chunky, place them in a food processor briefly<br />
on pulse, then add to pot. Simmer 30 minutes. Add salt, pepper, and sugar and<br />
simmer 5 minutes more. Add cream and bring back to a simmer. Add basil<br />
just prior to serving. Garnish with additional basil and croutons, if desired.<br />
Winston-Salem/<strong>For</strong>syth County Summer Feeding Program<br />
Needs Volunteers and Participants<br />
Clyde Fitzgerald, Executive Director of Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC, Mayor Allen Joines and Superintendent<br />
Dr. Don Martin of the Winston-Salem/<strong>For</strong>syth County School System held a news conference on Thursday to announce<br />
plans for this year’s Summer Feeding Program for hungry children in <strong>For</strong>syth County. Program organizers are seeking<br />
children to participate in this year’s program and volunteers to assist at the program sites.<br />
The 2009 program will begin on June 22 and run through August 14, providing meals free of charge for children ages 0-18<br />
at 23 sites in <strong>For</strong>syth County. Breakfast (8:15am- 8:45am) and lunch (11:30am-12:30pm) will be provided at the following<br />
sites: Brunson Elementary (August 3-12), Carter Vocational High, Carver High, Cook Elementary, Easton Elementary, <strong>For</strong>est<br />
Park Elementary, Griffith Elementary, Hall Woodward Elementary, Hill Middle (June 22-August 7), Kennedy Middle<br />
(July 6-August 14), Kernersville Elementary, Latham Elementary, Lowrance Middle, Mineral Springs Middle, North Hills<br />
Elementary, Old Town Elementary, Parkland High (July 13-July 24), Petree Elementary, Philo Middle, South <strong>For</strong>k Elementary,<br />
Speas Elementary, Walkertown Elementary and Wiley Middle. Parents of the children participating may purchase<br />
lunch for $3.<br />
More than 422,000 children in North Carolina are food insecure – unable to consistently access adequate amounts of nutritious<br />
food that is necessary for a healthy life. And over 24,000 children in Winston-Salem/<strong>For</strong>syth County Schools alone<br />
are eligible for free/reduced lunch.<br />
“We aim to address this very serious—but solvable—problem of childhood hunger through the Summer Feeding Program,<br />
in addition to our other childhood hunger initiatives,” said Fitzgerald. “Funding is provided by the federal government, so<br />
the key is getting more children to take advantage of this program.”<br />
<strong>For</strong> more information on having your child participate or to volunteer at a site, please contact the Child Nutrition Department<br />
of the Winston-Salem/<strong>For</strong>syth County Schools at 336.771.4526.
