To prepare, simply open the can and heat the soup gently in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is piping hot. Alternatively, you can pour the soup into a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high power for a few minutes, stirring halfway through. Ensure the soup is thoroughly heated before serving. It is best served hot, perhaps with a side of crusty bread for dipping.
