I asked a couple weeks ago about favorite drinks to warm you on a winters night. Last night, I stumbled on a new favorite for me.
I like tomato soup. Not anything fancy, not even cream of tomato, just plain condensed tomato soup heated with a can of water added. Plain and filling. Sometimes, I might add a bit of butter, a little basil or oregano, and almost always a couple grinds of pepper.
Simple. But soup. Even though I drink it from a mug, it was still drinking *soup,* not really a drink but soup.
Last night I started to make a cup of beef broth from sodium free beef broth granules, then decided I wanted some soup. I already had the water started, so just chunked my can of condensed tomato soup right in, along with my beef broth granules.
It was a little more water than I usually use, maybe 1 & 1/2 cans of water and about a teaspoon of the beef broth granules. But, oh! That much water just thinned out my soup and the touch of beef flavor made it a great hot drink.
I know. Simple. But, um, um good. I’ve already had it again and it s a winner! A new favorite!
Play along: What do you enjoy drinking that is *good for you?*
