I haven't had tomato aspic in years, but made this up yesterday and had it for supper. Really good, sorta like a Virgin Mary on in gelatin form. I made it up in medium sized individual molds and cut the recipe in half, worked well. DH and I both liked it quite well. This would be terrific on a hot night for supper with something on the grill, will definitely make this again.
