Carefully chop tomatoes into small blood-clotty pieces and red peppers into gum

then cutting each half in half crosswise.) Set aside. Pour
the soups and water into a large saucepan and cook at medium heat until the
mixture comes to a boil. Lower the heat and let simmer. Add the
blood clots,gums and corn kernels (rotting teeth) to the soup and continue to
simmer,stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, or until gums are tender.
