To prepare, simply open the container and heat the soup on the stovetop or in the microwave. For stovetop heating, pour the soup into a saucepan and warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired temperature. If using a microwave, transfer the soup to a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high for a few minutes, stirring halfway through. Avoid boiling. Serve hot for the best flavor and texture. It can be garnished with fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream if desired.
