Tomato Soup

Tomato Soup

1 large can tomatoes 1 small onion 1 tablespoon salt dash paprika 2½ tablespoons sugar 1 tablespoon butter 2½ tablespoons flour 2 cups hot milk 1 pint water

Put tomatoes with 1 pt. water to boil, boil for at least half hour. Fry onion in butter and add to soup with sugar and salt. When thoroughly cooked thicken with the flour blended with a little water. Now strain. Have the milk very hot, not boiling. Stir constantly while adding milk to soup and serve at once.

Do not place on the stove after the milk is in the soup. 1 cup of cream instead of 2 cups of milk greatly improves the soup.
