Correction to Tomato-Basil Soup
By Kim Morgan • Apr 11th, 2008 • Category: Humor •This is my first editorial correction for A Yankee in a Southern Kitchen.
The error has been brought to my attention by readers, family and the husband.
I wish to offer my sincere apology for failing to mention that my husband did in fact like the Tomato-Basil soup more than the canned soup that he is use to e
ating. My oversight was made inspite of the fact that my husband did ask me to mention this information on two separate occasions.
I did receive a very good compliment from him. This was in light of his cold, which in effect would make his compliment count as two compliments.
Progess was made in our home by the sincere enjoyment of my homemade soup over the canned version. That being said, the canned tomato soup is still on our shelf with 3 years, 2 days till it expires at which time I can throw it away, if I can manage to keep him from opening it with a can-opener before the expiration date.
If I have caused my husband any undue hardship because of my editorial oversight. I will be glad to make it up to him, by keeping my mouth quiet when he douses my macaroni & cheese with ketchup.

Too funny! It all looks great. In spite of my otherwise elevated tastes, I am a ketchup lover as well! that stuff is heaven on a grilled cheese, though I’ve never actually put it on mac and cheese . . . .
I have revised my post to show a link to the yeast I mentioned - it is fabulous for everything - pizza dough, whole grain bread, brioche - anything really. It rises very nicely and seems to give the product a nicer taste and texture than either Fleischman’s or Red Star. I used to get it at the local German deli, but they told me they didn’t sell through it quickly enough and stopped carrying it. I tracked it down at the Italian grocery here in Seattle but I’m told the higher end chain grocery stores sell it as well. I like fresh cake yeast the best, but it’s kind of more practical to have dried stuff in the cupboard. Have a great weekend!!
Better make sure you don’t do that again! All the grief he’s gotten and he finally cracks with a compliment! Just teasing… don’t tell him how to read comments, ok?
Lookin’ good Mom. It was fun catching up.
I have a question. Does “Southwestern” count as “Southern.” I mean, I know they are totally different, but they both have “South!” You need to do a few entries from the “South” out here. You could call it “Southern Western!” Cheesy, I know. But whatever works!
P.S. I love the picture on this one!
i’ve been lurking not commenting but that was just TOO good to say nothing. yikes. ketchup on mac cheese? yikes.
well written and in the best of spirits. here’s to love!
