How people cook with it
Condensed tomato soup is a versatile pantry staple. It can be enjoyed on its own or used as an ingredient in various dishes.
- As a base for casseroles
- To add tomato flavor to sauces
- As a quick lunch option
- Mixed with grilled cheese
To prepare the soup for eating, you will need to add liquid. Typically, water or milk is used. The can will usually suggest a ratio for dilution, often one can of liquid to one can of soup. Stir the soup and liquid together in a saucepan. Heat gently over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is hot and simmering. Do not boil. Serve immediately in bowls.
