**This recipe was revamped from the Forks Over Knoves. recipe.
I urge you to experiment to your own tastes and likings.
I sometimes just use tomatoes only, and I have mixed half milk
and half water instead of all milk. Subtitution and variety
are the beauty and wonder in a kitchen!!  It enhaunces the palate.

Enjoy!!
