To prepare as soup, empty the contents of the can into a saucepan. Add one can of water or milk, stirring well. Heat gently over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the soup is hot and steaming. Do not boil. For a creamier soup, use milk instead of water. It can also be incorporated into recipes where a concentrated tomato flavor is desired, acting as a binder or flavor enhancer.
