While it’s rare for me to serve canned soups for a meal, sometimes you just can’t beat their convenience.
That’s not to say, however, that you can’t add your own little flavour touches.
Such as on this occasion when a humble can of condensed tomato soup was ‘jazzed’ up a little using onion, basil, garlic and char grilled capsicum.
Cooked for 15 minutes, then blended until smooth.
I doubt anyone would even notice that the basis of this soup came out of a can, I know my guests didn’t!
Easy!
What about you? Ever ‘cheat’ when it comes to soups?
I use canned tomato soup for a base of many of our favourite recipes but never thought to use it the way you have!

My hubby uses the same tomato soup made with milk and water, adds lots and lots of garlic, then chucks in handfuls of grated cheese. I think your version looks so much nicer indeed Lisa!

I like this!! I am not ashamed to use 'cheat meals' and funnily enough the tomato soup that a family friend used to make for me when I was a kid turned out to be just the Campbell's kind with some extra spices chucked in it. This looks yum - will have to try :)
ReplyDeleteI go in and out of having soups for lunch at work - usually it is a range but at home I usually have tomato soup in a tin for the odd occasion when I feel like soup from a tin. Love it - never add to it but E loves to add herbs and spices to his baked beans from a tin
ReplyDeleteLooks delightful! Tomato soup is so good. I usually have a can of Campbell's tomato soup in my pantry. Nothing like that paired with a grilled cheese sandwich!
