Help! Tomato soup!

Hi guys, please help!
My bf has a hoard of about 10 tins of tomato soup (a friend palmed them off to him) and they're been taking up space in his cupboard for months. He keeps saying we should just throw them out, but I can't bring myself to waste food.
I don't like tomato soup on its own (I find it too sweet) but I'm happy to use it as a sauce or something in cooking. I made a pasta bake with one last night that turned out okay, not amazing, but edible. Now I've run out of ideas.
Please help with recipe ideas and help me recover some much needed cupboard space!

How about adding it to mince when making spag bol or chilli type recipes?
Am sure it could be substituted for some of the liquid in casseroles.
Meatloaf recipe, and you'll probably find other ideas on the Campbell's website too.

If you really can't face it then take it to the nearest food bank and donate xx0

Agree with Jackie - if you really can't face it then donate it to a food bank - there are often collecting points in supermarkets."Does it spark joy?" - Marie Kondo

I use it in curry's and in a chicken dish I make.
Breast of chicken with garlic, peppers, spinach and bacon or chorizo covered with a layer of thinly sliced potatoes with a tin of tomato soup and mozzarella over it all. Bake in oven.
Saying that though I love it just as soup with a bit of fresh bread and butter!
