This is how my mom made it back in the 60's and 70's when my sister and I were kids. I used to love this stuff! *Since Campbell's has changed their tomato soup so much, I have had to add a Tbl. of heavy cream to the recipe. (I do wish they'd make it like they used to. It was so much more creamy.) But the addition of the heavy cream really does it. Enjoy! (photo from bing images)
