My dear friend Nancy B. died of ovarian cancer fourteen years ago this month.  She was a brilliant writer and a faithful, generous, loving friend.

Those of us lucky enough to be part of her life miss her terribly.

In honor of her, I made her Tomato Soup yesterday.  Would you like to try it?

Nancy’s Tomato Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

1 chopped onion, sauteed in butter
28 oz can of diced tomatoes
2 cans of cream of tomato soup
1 1/2 cups of milk
2 TBS sugar
1 tsp each of basil, garlic powder and paprika
1 8-oz cream cheese, cut up into chunks in order to  melt faster

Mix all together in a crock pot or pot.  Heat and cook, stirring so that cream cheese melts (there might still be little bits but that’s okay).

Nancy served it with banana muffins!

I’ve been searching through pictures on my computer, but the darn thing is acting up and I can’t access what I want.  Here’s a picture of Nancy from her Silhouette page.   She wrote as “Dee Holmes”.
