Mom's Homemade Tomato Soup


Recipe via Grandma Pallett
1 quart milk
1 large can tomatoes
1/2 tsp soda
salt & pepper to taste
Simmer slowly for 2 hours - be careful not to curdle this soup


Variation  ~   Hearty Tomato Soup

Recipe via The Shepherds House
In heavy pot sauté until onion is golden:
Oil as needed
1 clove garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped
1- 2 stalks of celery, chopped (optional)
2 carrots, chopped

Add:
1 28-oz. can unsalted tomatoes (I mash with a potato masher)
1 1/2 tsp. salt
sprinkle of pepper
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon each oregano and basil
Add in to above mixture:
3 cups milk, hot
1 Tablespoon butter

Stir and enjoy!!

The original recipe adds in rice as well, which you can add if you would like. I think it also makes a great base for other soups. We have added in chicken and green beans and it was delicious too!
