Macaroni and Tomato Soup

fishywitch's Note:

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.

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.
