Come and Get It!

The Souplantation restaurant chain — known as Sweet Tomatoes in some states — has pulled a switcheroo. Usually, their Classic Creamy Tomato Soup is only on their menu for the month of March and occasionally for a week in October but all or most of their locations will have it for all of September.

This is my favorite soup. I've learned to make a reasonable facsimile of it in my kitchen for the months when they don't offer it. This month, I shall forego my knock-off and dine on the genuine article. You might like to try it but keep in mind that it doesn't grow hair or turn back time or eject Trump from the White House or perform any other kind of miracle. It's just real good tomato soup. I've been recommending it here for years and occasionally, readers of this site try it expecting something that will change the course of history. Good tomato soup cannot do this. Really, really good potato latkes, however, can.

Here's a way of finding out if there's one near you. If not, find one anyway.
