Ingredients:
4 large tomatoes
2 stalks celery, chopped very fine
1/4 bell pepper, chopped very fine
1 teaspoon accent (same as MSG)
4 tablespoons sugar
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups water

Peel the tomatoes by soaking them in boiling water for
one minute. Gently pull away the skin. Place tomatoes in a large pot and add the remaining ingredients. Cover and boil gently for 15 minutes, until tomatoes are tender. Serve with croutons.

The above recipe is from the book out of print cookbook "cajun country cooking" by John and Glenna Uhler published 1976..

What tastes good when you don't feel well?
A can of stewed tomatoes, unsalted, with celery, onions and peppers.  You can get the store brand for about 70 Cents.
Don't feel well enough to cook?  Just open the can, empty contents into bowl.  Add Celery Seed, Sea Salt, a bit of worcestershire sauce, and a dash of lemon juice.   Mix it up in the can, no need to heat...Eat it with buttered toast.  This makes a tasty and satisfying meal, especially when you have a cold.
I have tried using the diced tomatoes, but there is something about the stewed tomatoes that taste better.
Makes a great breakfast for those on a budget.
(My dad taught me this. He grew up in the depression of the 1930's. He heated his stewed tomatoes up and added a slice of cheese on top, and let it melt.. I prefer it without the cheese, and like it without heating.
