Macaroni and Tomato Soup
"My Mother and Father were children of the Great Depression. Sometimes my Mom would pull these crazy recipes out but we as a family loved them! This is one that my children and I have to have still sometimes. Eat it hot because it does not rewarm very well. IMHO, Campbells soup works best in this, but feel free to use whatever tomato soup you would like. This sounds wierd but it is REALLY GOOD."

Omg! I'm eating this right now! It made me curious if anyone else did this, so I googled it. We ate this growing up. My mom made it, and I suppose it was because my grandma lived through the depression, and was given it. I made it for my kids, and one of my daughters still makes it too!! It is my comfort food! Lots of salt and white bread is what I eat it with. Thanks for sharing, my family isn't the only ones who do this!!! -
Delicious! Takes me back to being a kid! This was a regular in our home! This is the first time I have shared this meal with my own little family ? -
Yum!!! Grew up with this...the only difference is the addition of CHEESE- mozzarella or old cheddar. I often dump the macaroni in a Pyrex dish and melt it in the microwave if I want it quick. Great meatless dish that makes a lot for next to nothing cost wise. -
Great memories were brought back eating this! My mom would make tomato soup and macaroni for us on Saturday afternoons and we always looked forward to it. I used about 12 ounces of elbow macaroni as that was all I had on hand. Perfect for a chilly day when not feeling well too! Made and reviewed for the Whats in Season Forum's Comfort Food recipe tag game. -
You forgot the cheddar cheese. I love this recipe and have been eating it since I was a kid, usually with spaghetti. Thanks for posting it.

I love to cook! My house is usually full of my kids friends because their moms do not cook from scratch and they cannot believe how good food can taste! I have a DH, two children, a DD (17) and a DS (20), but I usually cook for 10 every night!! Then there is the love of my life, my grandson Damian (2). Wow!! What a gift from above.
My dad had a heart attack when I was nine, so my mom stopped cooking a big meal at night and started cooking a big meal for lunch (dinner). Well, I still had to go to school. Leftovers got really old really fast, so I started cooking. And the rest ~as they say~is history!! I was ecstatic when I stumbled upon Recipezaar, now I am obsessed. <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Ingredients/CROCKPOTSTKR.jpg">
