| Simple & Delicious TOMATO Soup Cake
Posted: 11/12/2007 5:14:17 PM | Alright everyone, this is my first post so I am 'hoping' that someone...somewhere can help me? My mother has been past now for over 20 years and truly wish I had of paid attention to some of those old-fashioned and truly delicious recipes which nowadays, seem to be obscure. I grew up with fond memories of an extremely simple, yet delicious recipe my mother frequently used: Tomato Soup Cake. She made it with raisins; 1 can of Heinz Tomato soup...and the REST of the ingredients are what I really need. Can anyone help me? I know it sounds a little on the gross side, perhaps...but it was simple, fast and delicious. Hopefully, it is not lost in time. Thanks for any help or suggestions you can make.  | |

Posted: 11/12/2007 10:07:57 PM | Thanks everyone for the recipes & input! I really appreciate it. My kids have never been big on tomato soup so naturally, we always have cans of it lying around. Thought this would be a good way to use those up and spread a little tradition down the line? It may not be the same as when I was a kid growing up, but certainly worth a try! lol...who knows, they may even 'like' it! Thanks again!  | |

I've never made one but my mom and sister make them all of the time. They are very tasty. I think I may have even posted a picture of one on "you know where" my sister made in September when my family had my dad's birthday party. They make it with walnuts or pecans, unless they're making it for my brother, who can't handle nuts.
