I enjoyed your pastel and narrative very much. Campbell's Tomato Soup does not taste the way it used to. However, Progresso Tomato Basil is a satisfying substitute. But I will try your recipe when I'm in a made-from-scratch mood.

Perfect piece to read on a California day that feels more like I’ve been transported back to Massachusetts! Your drawings and recipe are inspiring. I’ve never had good luck with tomato soup. I’ll have to give this a try! 🍅

We have had virtually no snow this winter. I find it rather sad. How is the weather there now? I can't imagine how areas unaccustomed to snow cope. Hope that you have power!

Soup on the fly! A creative response to bare shelves

Love the soup bowl photo. I didn’t know that Campbell’s being in NJ was the reason for tomatoes becoming a major crop there. When I lived in Santa Monica I had a colleague who would have NJ tomatoes sent to him and that always surprised me given the local tomatoes. They must be special or taste like childhood memories of tomato soup.
