Very easy recipe to make and delicious! I did not seed the tomatoes and it was still great. I will make it again.

Have made this many times. Decreased the sugar to 1 teaspoon. This recipe freezes very well. I poured the salsa into quart freezer bags and laid flat in the freezer. Saves on freezer space.

This was an easy salsa to make. It was delicious. My step-son and husband gave it a two thumbs up!

Don't let the tomato soup throw you. This is a good and easy salsa. I put mine in jars due to lack of freezer space.
