To prepare this condensed soup, you will need to add liquid. Typically, water or milk is used to dilute the concentrated soup to your desired consistency. Pour the contents of the can into a saucepan. Add the recommended amount of liquid, usually an equal amount to the soup itself, or as per your preference. Stir well to combine. Heat the soup over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is thoroughly heated through. Do not boil. Serve hot in bowls.
How it differs from similar foods
