June Meyer’s Authentic Hungarian Tomato Soup (paradicsom

There is only one authority that is the preacher’s authority, and there is only one authority that undergirds and justifies his teaching ministry, and that is the authority of the Word of God. This Word is inerrant, infallible, authoritative, and trustworthy. It is that Word, and that Word alone, that is our authority; and it is not only the foundation, but the substance, the content of our teaching and preaching.

INSTRUCTIONS

Ah Paradise to eat Hungarian Tomato Soup. The tomato once feared as
being poisonous, was also called the Paradice Appfel or Apple of
Paradise. When my Grandmother came to this country from
Austria-Hungary, she brought not only flower seeds, Poppies included,
but all kinds of old-world tomato seeds. Hungarian heart shaped
tomatos, heavy, sweet and succulent. It was a yearly ritual in late
summer to can and bottle all those wonderful ripe tomatos the garden
produced. All winter long we children would be sent down to the
preserves cellar to bring up jars of tomatos, peppers, pickles,  dilled
squash, plums, peaches, beets, jams and jellies. Alas, I no  longer
have a garden so I must rely on store bought cans of tomatos.
Hungarian Pancakes, (Palacsinta) were always served after the soup
course. Thin crepes, slathered with strawberry jam, rolled up and
sprinkled with powdered sugar. This was a complete meal, good for a
Saturday noon, or Sunday night. Ah Paradise! Regards, June Meyer.
Saute bacon in a soup pot, and drain off bacon fat. Saute minced  onion
and celery with bacon bits in pot till transparent. Add the can  of
tomatos and add one can of water. Add 1 Tbls. sugar, and  peppercorns.
Bring soup pot to low boil, and lower heat to simmer and  let simmer
about 45 min. or 1hour. Soup can contain broad noodles, or  rice.
precook these and add before serving. Serves 4 to 6.  If you try one of
my recipes please tell me what you think. E-Mail me  at:
