Pulled the Green Tomatoes to Beat the Freeze

Pulled the Green Tomatoes to Beat the Freeze
With the lows below freezing here for several days it became apparent that we needed to bring in our unripe Roma & Mortgage Lifter Tomatoes.  Fried Green Tomatoes are really good but we had 20 -30 tomatoes, some quite small...  what to do...  I did a search for green tomato recipes and took a look at 10 or so.  I decided on 3 recipes that happened to all be on the same website.  All of these were amazing.  The website has reviews from others who've made the recipe, so I made modifications to the recipes based on "our" ingredients and the reviewers suggestions.  I substituted our fresh Cayenne peppers for 1/2 of the Jalapeno requirements and green Roma Tomatoes for the Tomatillo requirement.  The full recipes are behind those linked words ;~)
Green & Red Tomato Soup
Dinner 2 nights in a row. 
I used Tumeric instead of Cumin; 5 cups of broth instead of 7; 3 cloves garlic instead of 1


Ali's Green Sauce
We ate most of 1 with chips tonight, we have 1 more to eat and 1 to freeze.  I used 10x the Cilantro & only 1 cup sour cream. I left the seeds in 1/2 the peppers.

Mexina Salsa Verde
We froze 1 full container & used some on tonight's veggies.  I used 7 green tomatoes, 3 peppers with seeds & 2 cups of cilantro
