Tomato Gravy or Creamed Tomatoes

Tomato Gravy over Cubed French Bread w/ a side of tomatoes and cukes

I remember the first time I tasted this I thought it was so good. My mother-in-law used to make it often with her own garden tomatoes but it's just as good using a store-bought can of juice which is what I used tonight.

1 qt. tomato juice or stewed tomatoes
1/2 tsp. baking soda

Enjoy!
