I found a tomato soup recipe that uses canned tomatoes, but I still
call it "homemade". I don't call anything that I reheat homemade,
but if I use something prepared that's one of many other ingredients -
it's home made. I'm not a big stickler on using only fresh herbs
either... some are better tasting when fresh, like basil and rosemary
- but others are easier when dried, like thyme.
