. — When my sister, Pam, sent me this recipe I looked at it and put it up, thinking it would not be very good. They had made this at her job in Nowata, Okla.

For at least two years, Pam kept calling to see if I had tried it. So I finally tried this tomato soup. Boy was I wrong. It doesn’t sound good, but try it, it is really good. And yes, it tastes like tomato soup. Thanks Pam.
