Preparation
- Step 1
Heat tomatoes in a saucepan, breaking up with a fork if necessary.
- Step 2
Add cream and baking soda; mix well and let simmer 3 to 4 minutes over medium-low heat. Add cracker crumbs and continue simmering until crumbs have swelled. Add sugar, salt and bouquet garni.
- Step 3
Just before serving, stir in butter. Serve immediately.
Fresh tomatoes may be used if they are ripe, red and flavorful. Wash fresh tomatoes, cut into quarters, and steam in very little water - just enough to keep from scorching - until tender.
