Green Tomato Soup
From The American Family Cook Book (1963), this recipe is incredibly easy to make. This classic comfort food has a hint of onion, a creamy texture, and a tangy flavor. Green tomatoes are also high in antioxidants and minerals, like Vitamin C and iron.

- 3 cups boiling water
- 2 tablespoons minced onion
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ¼ teaspoon soda
