Granny's Spaghetti Sauce

Saute - 1 onion, cut into small pieces
1 sprig of celery leaves, cut into small pieces
1 heaping tablespoon parsley flakes
1 stick margarine

Add- 1 (28 oz.) can crushed tomatoes
1 (8 oz.) can tomato soup
1-1/2 tablespoons sugar

Mix well and let simmer on low heat for 1/2 hour. Mix often.

*My Notes:*
-During my travel to Florida, I visited some family that I haven't seen in a long time. One night my aunt made all 19 of us a huge (I mean gigantic!) pot of this sauce...needless to say it is the best spaghetti sauce I have ever tasted! It is also simple and quick to make!

-Brickle chips, if you are wondering like I was, are found in the same row as chocolate chips. They are usually toffee chips....why brickle? Toffee would be easier.
