To prepare, you will need to combine this condensed soup with additional liquids, typically milk or water, and sometimes cream for extra richness. The exact ratio will be indicated on the packaging. Heat the mixture gently on the stovetop, stirring occasionally, until it is thoroughly heated through and reaches your desired consistency. Avoid boiling, as this can alter the texture.
