Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:

1: You can eat the tomato soup without adding the milk if you desire.
2: Here’s what you can do if you want thicker soup:
Before adding the milk to the soup, take a small saucepan and melt 1 tablespoon butter. Then add 1 tablespoon flour while stirring constantly. Into this gradually add about 1 cup of the tomato soup. Keep stirring while you wait for the mixture to thicken, and when it does, add the mixture into the soup pot and continue stirring. Then add the milk. Stir to mix and heat until hot but not boiling.
