Submitted by: Barbiel
canned or homemade tomato soup
1/2 cup Sour cream
1 tablespoon milk
green food coloring
plastic sandwich bag
toothpick
Start with canned or homemade tomato soup. Place soup into bowls and make a mixture the sour cream, milk and enough green food coloring to turn the mix a pale green. Pour the mixture into a plastic sandwich or freezer bag. Cut a very small piece out of one of the corners of the bag, and starting from the side of the bowl, swirl the sour-cream mixture inward to the center of the bowl, creating a spiral. Using a toothpick and starting in the center of the bowl, move straight to the edge of the bowl and repeat several times to create a spider-web design.
