Ingredients: 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste; 24 ounces milk (refill paste can 4x) or 24 ounces water (refill paste can 4x); 1 teaspoon salt (to taste); 1 teaspoon sugar; 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder; 1 teaspoon cheese; 1 teaspoon bacon; 1 teaspoon onion powder; 1 teaspoon celery seed

This is almost as easy as opening a can of tomato soup. Yet this can be used to stretch your last can of soup or alone. My kids prefer no optional additions.

I tried this anyway, despite negative reviews, and because I needed tomato soup in a hurry.  I am SO GLAD I did.  Is it gourmet?  No. Is it garden fresh?  Of course not.  Is it every bit as yummy as the canned kind you grew up eating grilled cheese sandwiches with?  You betcha!  This was fantastic and I am going to be making it all of the time instead of that classic can that I was not fond of serving my family (check the label and nutritional info, then compare it to this.  You'll switch too!)  I did not add any of the suggested possible add-ins and I really, really enjoyed this.  Very, very similar to the red and white can, without all the extra additives.  Plus you can control the sodium!
