Tomato Soup
I am so grateful for your ongoing support for our food bank. We are providing very important support for some people who have great needs. We put a list of needed items in the newsletter each week. The one thing that we seem to have most of is tomato soup. So, I thought I would quote from a recipe that I wrote 35 years ago for a church cookbook.
Tomato Soup
1 can tomato soup
1 tomato soup can
1 canful of tomato soup size of water
2 canfuls of tomato soup size of saucepan
a significant source of heat
a garbage can (for the trash, not the soup).
Combine the ingredients of the soup can (first the total amount of the soup, then the total amount of the water) in the sauce pan. At this time the can has served its full usefulness and may be discarded in the trash, unless you can possibly use it as a paint brush cleaning can or if it is recyclable. Mix the ingredients in the pan very thoroughly (the soup and thw water.) Place the pan with its contents on a significant source of heat so as to bring it to a boil. Stir it occasionally while it is heating. Cool it to a point that you can ieat it without burning your mouth. This will make two large bowls of sour (almost too much) or three small bowls (everyone goes away hungry.) No one understands why they make their cans of soup this size. (A 2 inch brush is the largest that you can clean in a left over can.)
