Even if you make your home in one of our big cities, there's no reason not to "live off the land"...just "harvest" your ingredients at the weekly farmer's market! The peasant tradition has always celebrated the ripest and best from the fields, and this soup will make your family smack their lips in delight.
2 (16-ounce) cans tomatoes, coarsely chopped and undrained
2 cups water 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
