I’m a pretty good scrounger and easily pleased when I'm quite hungry and my eyes settled on a covered dish with something red inside.
["My, such a refreshing flavour": photos GH]
Hmmm, soup, I said. Excellent.
So I pulled the dish out of the fridge, grabbed a soup bowl, then looked under the cover.
It saw diced tomatoes.
["Diced tomatoes from another angle - still refreshing"]
I’ll add some Spanish onion and it will be my lunch, I said. And I bet it will be better for me than a can of Campbell’s tomato soup.
Tell you the truth - it tasted quite good and I still bet it was better for me.
Thrifty soup, eh?

Have you ever heated up canned tomatoes for lunch?
Did you dress it up?
These days, it’s important to be thrifty!

I make Mom's soup recipe, remember start with a lb. of hamburger and add everything but the kitchen sink? And I made Pat's soup Saturday, with the tomatoes, onions, green pepper and zucchini, but then add 6 bean salad and extra stuff..but even more thrifty was last night's supper of my own homegrown turnip and potatoes that I planted myself..now that's thrifty..love L.Dee
Hi LD,
Mom used to leave her big soup pot on the back porch, maybe no room in the fridge. I recall she put a brick on the lid to keep the critters out of it. Hope they did!! Would she tell us??
You could make soup all winter w food from your garden. Well done.
