RECIPE BACKSTORY
Soup to Nuts Cake was Sharon Phillips' mother and father's favorite! I remember that my mother used to make this cake too only she called it Tomato Soup Cake. It is quick and easy and the ingredients are almost always on hand. If you have self-rising flour you can save a step by mixing the baking soda right into the soup before mixing with the other wet ingredients.
