MACARONI AND TOMATO SOUP
My Mother and Father were children of the Great Depression. Sometimes my Mom would pull these crazy recipes out but we as a family loved them! This is one that my children and I have to have still sometimes. Eat it hot because it does not rewarm very well. IMHO, Campbells soup works best in this, but feel free to use whatever tomato soup you would like. This sounds wierd but it is REALLY GOOD.
