Mother made this soup when I was a child, and it was always one of my favorites. After 75 years, it still is! Mother's cellar was filled with home-canned vegetables, so the basic ingredient of this soup was right at hand. It never took her long to make a kettle of this wonderful soup. Ingredients:
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
salt to taste |
1 quart milk |
2 tablespoons butter |
minced fresh parsley, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, bring tomatoes to a boil. Add baking soda, garlic salt, pepper and salt if desired. Reduce heat; add the milk and butter. Heat through but do not boil. Garnish with parsley if desired. Yield: 6 servings (1-1/2 quarts).
