While this starts out with a can of Campbell's Tomato Soup, it was listed at the bottom of the Mayo Clinic Newsletter today. Made it at lunch, and liked it so much, I cannot wait until lunch tomorrow for the other bowl. I did not have fresh basil so checked and 1 tsp. of dried equals 1 tbsp. fresh. Dietitian's tip: Tomatoes are a good source of lycopene, an antioxidant that may help protect against cancer and cardiovascular disease. Lycopene is most plentiful in red tomatoes and is best absorbed when the tomatoes have been cooked. By Mayo Clinic staff Serves 2 Ingredients •1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed low-sodium, low-fat tomato soup •1 can (10.5 ounces) filled with fat-free milk •1 medium tomato, chopped •1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or cilantro •2 tablespoons croutons •1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese Directions In a saucepan, add the soup and milk. Whisk together until smooth. Warm over medium heat about 7 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Add in the chopped tomato and herbs. Cook an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Ladle even amounts into individual bowls and garnish each serving with 1 tablespoon croutons and 1 1/2 teaspoons Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately. P.S. I would order this again in a restaurant. Take care, Pat |

Never get soap in your soup. (Groucho Marx) For sodium watchers be careful of croutons and parmesan...both BIG offenders. Edited by Trotsky, Oct 27 2012, 11:19 AM.

I so seldom use canned soups that I do not worry about it. I do use it when i make my cabbage rolls. The pan full I make gets two cans. |
