To use this condensed soup, you typically need to add liquid to achieve your desired consistency. Common liquids include water, milk, or broth. Stir the soup and liquid together thoroughly in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, until it is heated through and has thickened. Avoid boiling, as this can alter the texture. It is ready to be incorporated into your recipes or served as a simple soup.
