Subject: RE: BS: Tomato soup
Gee, it sounds delicious, Dan. I never thought of tomato soup coming from anywhere but a can. I have had ties to Sacramento since 1970, and moved there in 1981 - the city has the nickname "Sacatomato," because so many tomatoes are grown here in the Sacramento River Delta. During the harvest season, tomatoes are transported in big hopper trucks, filled to overflowing with beautiful canning tomatoes. The freeway ramps often have piles of tomatoes, left by trucks that took the turn too fast.

The Campbell's Soup Company plant shut down a couple years ago. It had a water tower painted to look like a can of Campbell's Tomato Soup. But now that Campbell's deserted us, I'm considering getting my tomato soup fix in other ways. Yours sounds good.
