Tomato Soup

Tomato Soup

I had to do some research as I have a recipe that states tomato soup, but that is not available where I live, so I found a shortcut. It is healthier than canned tomato soup, but is just as easy as opening a can of soup and heating it up. This is NOT a condensed soup. I made this on 28 Apr 2017, it is good, not fine dining but it is good soup.

Ingredients
  

Soup

  • 1 can tomato paste, this would be a 170 gram can, the really small one
  • 4 cans milk, use the tomato paste can
  • pinch salt, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon sugar, OR honey

Optional Additions

  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese, OR Mozzerella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon celery seed

Instructions
 

  • Put tomato paste in saucepan, add milk using empty tomato paste can and rinsing can thoroughly. Add salt and sugar and optional additions if using, whisk and heat this on medium heat and serve as a side dish with a sandwich. I topped my bowl of soup with grated Parmesan cheese.
  • If this is just needed for a recipe, whisk all ingredients together and use as the recipe states, however, you will need to measure the amount needed for the recipe.

Notes

campbells-tomato-soup2A can of tomato paste costs 17 Baht, a can of name brand soup would cost 52 Baht. And just for example, here is what is in Campbell's Tomato Soup.
A Thai brand of tomato paste consists of concentrated tomatoes to make a paste with skin and seeds strained out, and a pinch of salt, a lot healthier than what you see in the ingredients for Campbell's!
  1. I made this on 28 Apr 2017, good soup, this is the type of soup you would find in a diner, not a 5 star restaurant. Good wholesome soup, you know exactly what is in it, and it pairs nicely with a grilled cheese sandwich.
