GRANDMA'S TOMATO SOUP
This recipe is my grandmother's. Originally, Gram even made the tomato juice in it from scratch! Gram had this soup cooking on the stove every time I visited her. She enjoyed making this tomato soup and other favorite dishes for family and friends, and she made everything with love. -Gerri Sysun, Narragansett, Rhode Island

GRANDMA'S OLD FASHIONED CREAMY TOMATO SOUP
This is a wonderfully rich and creamy tomato soup with a hint of sweetness to it. It tastes just like grandma used to make when things were truly homemade and from scratch. The chunks of tomatoes can either be left alone or pureed into the soup if you prefer a smooth texture.

Steps:
- Cook the noodles as directed on the package.

Tips:
- Use ripe, juicy tomatoes. This will give your soup the best flavor. If you can, use tomatoes that are in season.
- Roast the tomatoes before adding them to the soup. This will help to concentrate their flavor and make the soup more flavorful.
- Don't be afraid to add other vegetables to your soup. Carrots, celery, onions, and garlic are all good additions. You can also add leafy greens, such as spinach or kale, towards the end of the cooking time.
- Season your soup to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good starting points. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as basil, oregano, or thyme.
- Serve your soup with a garnish. A dollop of sour cream, a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese, or a few croutons are all good options.
