Can you make tomato soup out of tomato paste? If so how?
I had a random craving for tomato soup, and i could not find any, the closest thing i had was tomato paste, if you add water to it and cook it will it make tomato soup or do you have to add lots of stuff to it? If you have any knowledge of rather it can be used as an alternative to tomato soup please tell me.
Add about 1 1/2 – 2 cans of milk to the tomato paste, heat on a low to medium flame. If you have it, add a little bit of onion powder and a tiny bit of garlic powder (to taste).
Put a pinch (just a pinch) of sugar to cut down on some of the acidity since you’re using straight tomato paste.
Add a little bit of parsley while it cooks…and slap a pad of butter on there when you’re ready to eat…
That’s probably about as close as you can get with just tomato paste.
Good luck!
