Recipe--Tomato Soup (not from a can! :-))


My whole family can tell you that my absolute favorite meal in the world is tomato soup with Mom’s double-decker grilled cheese sandwiches. And what makes it all even better is that this tomato soup recipe comes from the Tightwad Gazette, so it’s a very frugal recipe. Next week, I will post the sandwich recipe and you too can enjoy this amazing meal for yourself!

Tomato Soup


1 6-oz can tomato paste
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
1 teaspoon celery seed
24 oz milk (refill tomato paste can 4 times)
¼ teaspoon basil

Put tomato paste in saucepan. Add milk using the can, rinsing thoroughly. Add salt, celery seed, and basil. Stir together. Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally (try to press out tomato paste lumps.) Serve with double-decker grilled cheese sandwiches (recipe coming next Saturday!) Serves 4. (We double this for our family.) Enjoy!
