French Onion Tomato Soup
3 large onions (6 cups sliced) 2 cloves garlic, minced
2T butter and oil 16-18 tomatoes, rough chop
2 c chicken stock 1/2 t oregano
salt & pepper to taste
Put tomatoes into a saucepan and simmer, uncovered for 30-40 minutes. Meanwhile, slowly saute the onions until golden. Add the garlic for the last few minutes.
Carefully put the tomatoes (skins and all) in the blender and process until smooth. Please don't overload the blender. Hot stuff in blenders are dangerous.
When all the tomatoes have been processed, add in the onion mixture and simmer for 10 minutes.
This soup can be served as is, with a sprinkle of Parmesan or you can give it the full French onion treatment. Pour soup over croutons and top with cheese, then broil to melt the cheese.

I haven't read the recipe yet - all I saw was the caution and started laughing.
When we lived in our old place I put bananas in the blender for one of the kids........ and didn't put the lid on. Two years later I was still scraping it off the ceiling.
Besides a toaster, I don't use kitchen appliances very often.
I've almost left the lid off :) The problem with hot liquids is they want to explode out of the blender. So you have to fight the urge to over fill the blender. The first time I made cheese cake I got batter on the ceiling. There were chocolate dots still on the ceiling when I moved 10 years later :)
