Years ago I had a medical test on a very cold winter morning. I had a skimpy johnny on, in a cold x-ray room, with a cold swab, and I was there too long! Afterward --- recovery room --- covered with blankets right out of the oven --- and hot, hot tomato soup. How soothing and comforting. Still love it. Comfort food.
I agree! I use milk and a little margarine in my homemade soup. It is light pink and chunky with fresh chopped tomatoes. Yum, I think I might make a pot for lunch.
