Tomato Soup (Maigre). No. 2
Stew eight or ten tomatoes thoroughly, then rub them through a sieve, and put them in a pot with one tablespoonful of soda. When the foaming is over add two tablespoonfuls of butter (a little at a time), one teaspoonful of salt, half a teaspoonful of pepper, and a pinch of cayenne. Meanwhile heat one quart of milk in a Bain-marie for about ten minutes, and add to the tomatoes (beating well together) just before serving.
