To prepare, simply open the can and combine the contents with the recommended amount of liquid, usually water or milk, as indicated on the packaging. Stir well and heat thoroughly in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a gentle simmer. Avoid boiling. It can also be heated in a microwave-safe bowl. For a richer flavor, you can substitute milk for some or all of the water. It is ready to serve once heated through.
