Any way to modify canned tomato soup to add a homemade touch?

Question

For reference I'm serving it on the side of Ham on Rye sandwichs. Looking for simple additions to canned Tomato soup.

Answer 1

Fresh Basil finely chopped

Answer 2

I don't know if this goes with Ham and Rye sandwiches, but the best recipe I have ever found for tomato soup included adding in cooked elbow noodles OR Orzo and some ground hamburger. Damn now im hungry for that. Try it, its so good.

Answer 3

Milklions of ways to do this the best is to peel a couple tomatoes and dice them into the mix also dont frget tomatoes dont come salted so salt and pepper them . the Inclusion of other herbs and spices helps , a little basil, a little garlic and a touch of extra virgin olive oil is also nice and homey. For a more Substantial soup a litle pre cooked pasta like ditalini or orzo or rotini adds toi the mix and doesnt take long to do.

Answer 4

A few favorites of mine:
tomato soup + salsa
tomato soup + shredded cheese (any kind)
tomato soup + croutons
tomato soup + gold fish crackers
tomato soup + crushed saltine crackers
making it w/ milk instead of water is always good, makes it more creamy
Goodluck :-)

Answer 5

Put a dollop of sour cream on top, sprinkle with chives.

Sprinkle with some shredded or grated cheese of your choice.

Mince or puree some fresh tomatoes and heat them up in the soup to cook a little.

Answer 6

Add chopped onion or chives or Italian seasonings or their component parts chopped fresh. Actually I prefer mine with milk or sliced cheese. I use tomato soup as a base to make spaghetti sauce or barbecue sauce or over a piece of roast.

Answer 7

I always like putting onions and some spicy seasoning. Tomato soup is a good base you can add pretty much anything you want.

Answer 8

Add some basil and cream; now you got cream of tomato and basil soup. Another trick isto take your favorite red sauce and do the same to it, works better than adding to the soup.

Answer 9

I definitely make it with a little bit of butter and use milk instead of water. Add some seasonings you like, such as salt, pepper, cayenne pepper. After that, for each bowl, I add a dollop of sour cream and green onions or some Cheez-its.

Answer 10

Add Cherry Tomatoes to it. or canned mixed vegetables, chopped ham, or sour cream.
