To prepare this tomato soup, simply pour the contents of the can into a saucepan. Heat it gently over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired temperature. Avoid boiling the soup, as this can alter its texture and flavor. For a creamier consistency, you can stir in a splash of milk or cream towards the end of the heating process. Alternatively, you can heat it in a microwave-safe bowl, covering it loosely and heating in short intervals, stirring between each.
