Recipe for Tomato Soup

[mychelle 1]

I am absolutely hooked on tomato soup...the ones with tomato chunks and onion. i always end up buying a small cup from the sandwich/soup shop at my building but they charge 4 bucks for a small size cup (6 bucks if you want to go bigger...16 oz). it's a rip-off, i know.

i've searched the web and can't really find one that would appeal to me (meaning something easy but not the ones in the can where you just heat and serve. hehe) i'm thinking of just experimenting but i'm not good in the kitchen either (my cooking assessment/level - i can make a good breakfast...bacon, eggs and pancakes...which is why i end up making myself breakfast for dinner.)

I say stick with the breakfast for dinner. For real. Bacon, eggs and pancakes (try some biscuits and grits, too) sure beats any tomato soup I ever had.

Dude, You have NO idea how many different things you can make with a can of cambell's soup... lol its great!

but i do agree.. cambell's tomato soup is great with milk and grilled cheese...

No recipe for tomato soup though, not really... what else is in the soup at your sandwich shop? any meat/other vegetables?

this recipe looks pretty good.. I"m guessing you can probably substitute diced tomatoes in a can for the tomatoes they ask for.. Good luck!

What I do with a can of Campbells tomato soup is this... I dump one can of tomato soup into a pot then add a can of milk and about a cup or so of grated cheese and oregano and basil to taste.... then you just heat it up till cheese is melted... This is sooo yummy
