Cream of Tomato Soup
Ingredients
- 1/4 C butter
- 1/2 t baking soda
- 1/4 C flour
- 2 C milk
- 1 T minced onion
- 1/2 t celery salt
- 3 C tomato juice
- pepper to taste
Instructions
Melt butter then add onions. Saute gently till beginning to soften. Then add flour and cook for 1-2 minutes before adding tomato juice. Stir over medium heat till thick (beginning to boil). Add soda and stir down (this keeps the milk from curdling). When foam subsides, add milk and heat to serving temperature. Add salt and pepper. Do NOT boil as the soup will curdle. Serves 4-6.
