Make Your Own Condensed Cream of Tomato Soup

 Cream of Tomato soup conjures up memories of a hot, steamy bowl of creamy red soup, a pat of butter slowly melting, and a twist of black pepper. And next to it? A grilled cheese sandwich.

For those of us who are LoSo, the creamy concentrate poses a sodium issue. But take heart! There is a recipe!

  • 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce (no salt added)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1½ tbsp brown sugar (may use Splenda for baking)
  • ½ tsp salt  (optional)

  1. Put everything in a bowl and whisk. 
  2. Can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.

Makes 1 cup
