Notes

Use a thick but smooth tomato sauce, pass through a sieve if needed, for a silkier texture. Use light cream to reduce calories.

Substitute tomato sauce with the same amount condensed tomato soup and cream with evaporated milk, this becomes a recipe you can prepare only with canned food. Sometimes one must improvise.

Flavor variation: use 1 cup condensed tomato soup, 1 cup condensed cream of celery soup, 1 cup evaporated milk. Try other combinations such as condensed crab bisque, tomato soup and light cream or evaporated milk.

If you do not have a double boiler, improvise by placing a heat resistant bowl or smaller pan on top of a saucepan of gently simmering water.
