Mock Bisque Soup

2 cups tomatoes 1 saltspoon soda 4 cups milk 2 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons flour or cornstarch Salt and pepper Steam the tomatoes until soft enough to strain the juice; strain, add soda, and allow gases to pass off. This prevents the tomato curdling the milk. Scald the milk; melt the butter, add the flour, and pour on gradually the scalding milk. Cook thoroughly, stirring carefully.

Add the tomatoes to the milk, reheat and season to taste; strain, and serve immediately with crackers or croutons.
