To prepare the soup, simply open the can and pour the contents into a saucepan. Add the recommended amount of water or milk, as indicated on the label, and stir well. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is hot and simmering. Do not boil. For a creamier texture, milk can be used instead of water.
