Eventually Spring will come, but until it does here's something hearty to warm the soul ...

2 cups red wine
1 can tomato soup
1 can beef consume
1/2 onion grated fine
white pepper to taste

Combine the ingredients in a large saucepan.

Heat until steamy hot. Lower to a simmer and ladle it into big stoneware mugs.

Note: This soup can also be served in bowls, but works best as a beverage served with cheese and crackers.
