Old-Fashioned Tomato Soup

My aunt lived through the Great Depression, but that wasn’t the reason for homemade tomato soup. Fresh always tastes better!
SO MUCH EASIER —
For a quick and easy tomato soup, simply use spaghetti sauce (home-canned or store-bought). This already has all the spices included, so all you need to do is add and equal amount of milk. Only need enough for one meal? Mix 1/2 cup of sauce to 1/2 cup milk and heat.
The secret to keep the soup from curdling is to add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to the mixture. If it does curdle, it is still okay to eat, but doesn’t look too appealing.
If you like it sweeter, add sugar. Add salt and pepper to your taste.
You can also make this from fresh or canned tomatoes or tomato juice. Dice the tomatoes real small if fresh and cook until soft. Add milk and spices.
