To prepare, simply pour the contents of the can into a saucepan. Heat gently over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is thoroughly heated. Avoid boiling. For an enhanced experience, ladle the heated soup into an oven-safe bowl. Top with a slice of toasted bread or croutons, and sprinkle generously with Gruyère or Swiss cheese.
