8 or 9 tomatoes, skinned and chopped

Simmer tomatoes in large saucepan for 10 minutes.  Remove from heat.  Add soda, salt, sugar. and pepper. Mix the flour with about 1 cup of your half and half, stir this in after you put in the remaining half and half.  Put back on the heat, heat the soup slowly.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  Serve as soon as soup is piping hot.  If you want a thicker soup, add more flour.
