What to do with tomato soup today

I found a carton of Covent garden tomato & basil soup in the freezer yesterday, took it out to 'make something' and now don't know what to do with it?
Can't go back in freezer and I don't want to eat it as soup.
Any ideas please

  • Put onto a pizza base, add cheese and topping of your choice? You might need to reduce it on the hob before hand?

    Add it to cooked onion and mince as a base for bolognaise?

    Don't fancy pizza. If I use it for a bolognaise sauce won't it taste to sweet??

  • add some chopped onions, garlic & peppers, a tin of tuna chunks, heat it up gently and then add some cooked pasta mix through and then grate some cheese over the top

    Hmmmmm - if you fry garlic and onions and add the soup as sauce, you can always use flavourings/herbs and spices to take away some of the sweetness.

    There is a thread which suggests adding balsamic vinegar or worcestershire sauce
    A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men :cool:

    I was also going to suggest using it as a base either for bolognese sauce, or chilli con carne. A dash of lemon juice will remove any sweetness if it's too sweet.
  • And no, you cannot refreeze it now it's been frozen once already

    My favourite shop bought soup!

    I use it as pizza topping, pasta sauce, yesterday we were having meatballs so I used it as the sauce for that - meatballs (cooked) in a dish, soup poured over, mozzarella on top, baked for 30 mins. Was lovely.
