Please correct a recipe I just sent for Microwaved Tomato Rice Soup. It listed

V8 in the ingredient section. Just delete that row. Thank you.

 

This recipe did not mention cooking the turnips, carrots and garlic with any

water. I added that. that was odd... 1985 book. I cannot find any reference in

this book to wattage. The standard today is around 700watts. Just thought I'd

pass along the info.
