Pegasus Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Do you mix in water, milk, both, or other? I've always used milk to make it creamier but wondered how often people just use water. Is it still good? Pegasus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLG Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I'm a cream or half and half person so water would not appeal to me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicheleinMN Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Usually whole milk and less than what the instructions say to add. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom22ns Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I had no idea I was so weird. I don't think I've ever had it with milk. We don't drink cow's milk here, so there isn't any in the house. It doesn't sound appealing with soy or almond milk that we do have. We all like it with water. I make it now and then with lunch in the winter.

Pegasus Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 Do you mean canned condensed soup? I don't care for it, but I'd much prefer cream or half and half. Yep! I've never made it from scratch but I'd be willing to try. Do you have a favorite recipe? Pegasus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annandatje Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Usually my soupmaker kid prepares homemade tomato soup. However, when we use canned condensed tomato soup, we add water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer3141 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 If I'm going to have a can of soup, then I add milk. When I make my own, I use full cream as a finisher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momling Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I add milk... and then I add a handfull of cheese and some chopped up herbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 No milk here but dh is allergic to milk products. I look at all soup labels if I'm buying canned soup to make sure that there is no milk in it. I do like to order tomato soup with milk in it, if I'm eating out. I think it adds something to the soup.

Truscifi Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I voted milk, but honestly I prefer tomato bisque. It is made with cream. Yum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abigail4476 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I voted milk, but we actually do cream, too. I buy a family sized can of Campbell's tomato soup, add a can of diced tomatoes, and 2 cups or so of heavy whipping cream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orthodox6 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I dislike milk in soups. Nor do I use canned. When I make a tomato soup, I use either vegetable stock or beef stock. If I want a "creamy" style, I thicken the finished product with a small amount of instant potato flakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amydavis Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I like roasted tomato soup. I don't have a recipe I follow, but I found one online that is pretty much how I do it. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tyler-florence/roasted-tomato-soup-recipe/index.html Wow, that looks yummy, and more importantly, it looks like a soup recipe I'm capable of following! I'm really wanting to get away from the canned soups. Thanks for posting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a recipe I follow, but I found one online that is pretty much how I do it. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tyler-florence/roasted-tomato-soup-recipe/index.html Do you seed and skin the tomatoes first? I am looking for a use of our fresh garden tomatoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silliness7 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I've never heard of using anything but milk. I wonder what it would be like with water. Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melinda in VT Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I voted water, but I was assuming we were talking bout canned tomato soup. I make this only when I am having a grilled cheese sandwich, and I like the soup to have a nice tang to balance out the creamy cheese of the sandwich. When I make a tomato soup from scratch, I use milk or cream, depending on the recipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happi duck Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 water! The first time I saw someone making Campbell's with milk I commented that I'd never had it with milk. He told me, 'that's how you make it'. He didn't believe it could be made with water. Even when I showed him the instructions on the can he said 'it must have been changed'. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
