These Recipes Will Knock Your Socks OFF! | How to Use Condensed Tomato Soup

[@allyrooh3628]

I never had tomato soup growing up and my husband had it all the time. 30 years into marriage and I'm just now starting to eat tomato soup. Who knew? I'm loving this series!

[@angelmission]

I use tomato soup for a simple sloppy joe. I add a little brown sugar, ketchup, worshtershire sauce and dried or fresh onion, sometimes bell pepper. Add to cooked and drained ground beef and serve on buns.YUM

[@joycepedercini3841]

I’m going to try this

[@rynaard]

I have never been a fan of condensed tomato soup so didn''t know how versatile it could be. It is a staple from food banks and commodity sites so this video is very helpful!

[@RobynSaavedra]

Thanks Maria! I joined your channel several days ago and haven't yet posted. Although, I am in an abundant time in my life, I do the cooking for 2 and need to find basic recipes and use the things in my kitchen! Also, with rising inflation, I never like to pay more for the same thing that is less expensive elsewhere. I love the way you take simple things and put them together to = yummy. When you waste food, not only does your bill go up, but it is wasteful. My goal is to use up everything that I buy. I also enjoy your channel for the many ideas it gives me. Nothing is worse than monotony. Looking forward to cooking with you! Thank you!

[@MealsWithMaria]

I’m so glad you’re here Robyn!! I’m here for all the inspiration! You have great goals and I hope you get some great ideas!

[@marlenehahn5678]

My family does not like straight canned soup. They do like our version. One can of condensed tomato soup 1/2 can water and 1/4 to 1/2 cup of salsa. Serve witj a grilled cheese sandwich. For some reason this has become our go to soup when they are home with a cold.

[@cookshackcuisinista]

Great ideas Maria! I don't use much of the canned soup anymore because of the high sugar and salt. One can make a quick tomato soup with some tomato paste some broth and some full cream and a couple of tablespoons of flour to be substituted in place of the can of tomato soup! Of course you have to season it to taste with salt and pepper and whatever else you want to use but this is how I do most of my cream soups just by using broth, full cream and a few seasonings!

[@macwacha8415]

That’s funny bc I have really bad acid reflux & tomatoes are my downfall. A coupla years ago I decided to try using tomato soup instead of any canned tomato sauces/crushed/paste/pizza/spaghetti/whole etc. in my dishes & it really doesn’t affect my issue! Good to know there are so many tomato soup recipes I haven’t yet tried. Your dishes all looked really good & I’ll have to try them! TFS 💕

[@debimorsette1685]

Great recipes and I love that your young sons eat most of what you cook. As toddlers, my grandsons loved Brussel sprouts sautéed in garlic butter.

[@joycepedercini3841]

Wow this came at a perfect time I just bought 11 cans of tomato soup from the dollar tree marked down to $.25 a can and I tried it and it’s great! One way that my mom stretched meals on a budget when we were growing up was to make homemade SpaghettiOs with canned tomato soup. She would add tomato soup and butter and black pepper to pound of cooked elbow macaroni’s and serve that with some white bread and that’s what we and we love it to this day

[@MealsWithMaria]

Yum! That sounds delicious. I love spaghetti-os!

[@mollysmith6055]

Those look good! The only thing I buy tomato soup for is a recipe from my MIL for pork chops. It is basically just a method dish. S&P pork chops and brown in a hot skillet. Transfer to a baking dish and place them in one layer. On each chop layer 1 tablespoon Minute Rice, one 1/4" thick slice of onion then a dollop of the condensed tomato soup. Cover and bake for 1 hour. My change to the recipe is to use an extra amount of Minute Rice sprinkled between the chops then take another can of soup plus half a can of water and pour over the areas between the chops. Cover and bake the same. That way you get extra rice. The fat from the chops melts with the onion juices and tomato soup to make a really savory sauce and except from the browning it is a hands-off dish for a busy mom.

[@rhiahlMT]

With the jambalaya recipe instead of Cajun seasoning you could add oregano and basil or one of those, a little garlic and make an Italian type flavor. Great stuff as always!

[@valerief1231]

I was gifted a couple of cans of tomato soup and they’ve been in my pantry so long, I’m going to make the chicken n’ shrimp, AND the sandwiches, I never thought of using deli roast beef in this way! Thanks for helping me feed my family on a shoestring. We have made a decision as a family to really get frugal where we can, the kitchen is my area and I’m learning a lot from you.

[@arianasage1158]

You knocked this out of the park! I had hit a bit of a wall with recipes for my family so these are more than welcome to add to my menu. Thank you!

[@MealsWithMaria]

Yay!

[@nancycarney]

My husband loves tomato soup and cajun food. WIN-WIN! Super cheap meals. I love even the crockpot chipotle chicken. Makes great chicken sliders.

[@stephaniebaker362]

I love these videos that you've been doing! You have really been making me think of pantry staples differently.

[@Isabella66Gracen]

I loved these ideas! We have tomato soup in our storage but I had no idea how to use them. I wasn't that excited about just the plain soup. I will try all three of these definitely. My husband and I can't eat most seafood, so I think I'll add a few Cajun sausage links to the jambalaya. Should be great with the chicken.

[@jgodwin717]

Great ideas!!! Thanks Maria for these ideas and I'm stocking up on some condensed tomato soup ☺

[@MealsWithMaria]

Awesome!!!

[@keart65]

Quick tip! I freeze my peppers in adobo also. I just cut them frozen and put that in my sauce or dressing. They cut easily frozen.

[@ValerieHargett]

I always have this on hand, but I only use it for basic soup. What a great idea! That actually looks really good! I love shrimp. Ok, I'm gonna stock up on this soup!! Haha. Everything looked delicious! Thanks for these yummy soup ideas. Hope you have a wonderful day!🥰

[@susanhurley4129]

Another great use of a pantry staple in my house, cream of soups are a great start to a great meal. Thanks for all your great ideas.

[@MealsWithMaria]

You’re welcome!!

[@johnbrooks8258]

Restaurant quality is just like beauty. It is in the eye of the beholder. Home cooking is much better than restaurant quality. You can control the quality of the product, cooking time and spices.

[@MealsWithMaria]

That’s so true!

[@janeadams5207]

Maria! This is inspired. My dad used to make pressure cooker porcupine meatballs with tomato soup. I have not been able to reproduce his level of deliciousness sadly.

[@MealsWithMaria]

Oh those are so delicious!!

[@debbiryan1744]

LOVE your videos and how you always give us other options if we don't have the exact ingredient in our homes!

[@MealsWithMaria]

So happy to share with you!

[@judycarter8199]

Everything looks delicious. Very creative ways to use tomato soup. I do have a question-where did you get the plates that held the tacos? We NEED some like that.

[@christeenprice5637]

Awesome recipes, thanks for sharing Maria

[@amberleestevens2052]

So many ideas! My friend uses the Italian tomato soup and cooks pork chops in it then serves it over rice.

[@Vro-]

Great recipes, I tried & lost a recipe for a great cheese burger soup that uses tomato soup as the base, also tried stuff pepper soup, cabbage roll soup, great for winter time!

[@paulaluse1684]

I use it to make sweet n sour sauce. Recipe on Campbell web site. I add peppers & onions & pineapple. Also porcupine meatballs also very good recipe with the tomato soup.

[@wisediamond830]

YOU are jewel, these recipes are great and my grandbabies love these dishes...Thanks much!

[@Devilduckie73081]

Rare Roast Beef, BBQ sauce, american cheese and mayo on an onion roll. If you're ever in Lynn, try Atha's on Boston St!

[@carollizc]

My own budget stretching tomato soup recipe uses cheap cuts of meat or game. Take 2 to 2 1/2 pounds of boneless meat or mostly boneless, pork shoulder chops are good, one can of tomato soup, one cup of salsa, whatever heat level you like,, a chipped onion, and two tablespoons of dark brown sugar (or whatever you have, even molasses or honey will do in a pinch.) Put the meat, in portion sizes, into a baking pan, and dump the other ingredients on top. Cover and bake 2 to 3 hours until tender. Good with mashed potatoes and homemade bread, side salad if you have it. This was born of desperation, "How do I cook moose meat *this* time?" As you might guess,we'd been eating it a lot !

[@johnbrooks8258]

Thanks for making a wide variety of recipes and all the hard work that you do to prepare videos.

[@MealsWithMaria]

😀 so glad to do it!

[@dianatennant4346]

As usual these recipes look great I will be running them through the menu plan and see what we think of them but I think they would all be winners to at least some. I really like this series you've been doing

[@dottienorment3396]

Thank you for this!!! Awesome recipes 😊

[@kims1941]

Well, I'm in Cleveland and beef sandwiches like that are not a "thing" here, although it did look good. I haven't had jambalaya in a long time. Yours looks delicious! You explain things in such a friendly and easy way.

[@heatherinparis]

Hi Maria....I'm betting I have the most unique recipe for using tomato soup that you ever heard of. Tomato Soup CAKE! I first heard of this recipe when I was getting married to my first husband 51 years ago and have been making it for all the time since then.

[@shannonpichotta4834]

Those dinners all looked so good and so easy. Thank you for another great video and I can't wait for the next one.

[@carynvanwyk]

When my kids were little I would take a can of tomato juice, a bag of mixed vegetables add shell pasta to make a soup my kids loved it.

[@saintessa]

I love it just with sweet paprika and a drop of sirracha sauce

[@MealsWithMaria]

Yummmm!!!

[@catladyjai1113]

I'm in my early 40s and just now realizing you can use tomato soup for meatloaf and now so many other things. This is great, thanks!

[@MealsWithMaria]

🤗 such a great pantry staple!

[@applepie4462]

Love your Taco Plates! I have tomato soup that needs these recipes. Yum!

[@shaunah.creations9233]

Can’t wait to try these recipes with tomato soup. The roast beef and gumbo look yummy.

[@patsyhelms1102]

Love the taco holders. Please tell me where you got them. I am a big fan of tomato soup.love drinking from mug in cold winter. Recipes all look great. Thanks

[@MealsWithMaria]

I got them at Aldi but there are some similar ones here! amzn.to/3N3zwJF

[@amyeby1226]

Ooh I'm going to order these!!

[@TheKatyMadison]

I usually use salad shrimp in my jambalaya. It is so much cheaper and gives the same flavor. I buy a bag from Sam's that I keep in the freezer. But canned salad shrimp works as well.

[@nicolehubbard3536]

Loved your "stop and smell the roses" clip!

[@idareandevers9211]

Now I know what to do the tomato soup each dish is very simple to fix. Thanks, this dish is on its way to table.

[@MealsWithMaria]

Yay! That’s fantastic!

People in the northeast united States are into "philly steak" sandwiches. They have a sauce like that with the roast beef ☺️

[@earlenebrown7181]

You come up with great ideas can’t wait to try all of them. Thank you.

[@isobelmcfadyen4625]

I make a chicken tikka masala with canned tomato soup. It's so simple. Just some tikka paste tomato soup your chicken and add some yoghurt at the end of cooking to make the sauce creamy. So good!

[@wallashakalla]

My mum used to make tomato soup cake. It was delicious.

[@paulamcleod1227]

Great ideas! I'd throw some veggies into that gumbo recipe. Maybe green pepper chunks, zucchini slices or green peas just to give it more color. It looked delicious though!

[@MealsWithMaria]

Yum! I agree the pepper would be good! And add color

[@evelynsaungikar3553]

Even celery!

[@juanajorden9295]

These meals look absolutely scrumptious. Can you do some meals that are lower in price but have less acidity? I can't take the acid in any meal. I really pay for it. Just an idea! You do so great Ms. Maria. Take care and thank you for sharing.

[@wardrobelion]

I always use tomato soup as my beef stew base.😋

[@christinatareski8882]

Definitely doing the chicken ti ga tacos and the jambalaya!

[@MealsWithMaria]

Yay!

[@sherlynpatterson4304]

Yellow bellpepper tastes similar to green bellpeppers but easier on the digestion for a lot of people.

[@MealsWithMaria]

I’ve heard that. For him it’s all flavor.

[@rachelpruneau387]

Love all these! Thank you Maria!!

[@shelzp7272]

@maria…Heck yes about toasted cheesy buns! Toasting makes a big difference in sandwiches for sure…

[@MealsWithMaria]

😀😀😀 so good!

I'm the only person in my household that likes Tomato Soup, and I was the only person in my childhood that liked canned tomato soup as a kid. So, I only keep a can or two in my pantry, most for my lunch on a cold winter weekday when everyone else is gone.

[@JupitersRealm]

Everything looks soooo good!! What time is dinner? LOL

My great grandmother would put a can in her chili, so I do, too.

[@dawnm3803]

It's funny you mentioned about a New England thing with roast beef because I was watching your channel and notice the Market Basket can and I was wondering what state you're in. I noticed you had a Shaw's flyer the other day and most of the time when I watch KZbin it's a lot of stores aren't in my area. So I am just curious what state you're in.

[@MealsWithMaria]

I’m in NH! Are you a New Englander as well?

[@lisadurant883]

I have to ask if your husband ever had a Chicago Italian beef sandwich!

[@brendarobertson7206]

Crazy shortcut sort of thing I do is use hot cups to cook scrambled eggs in the morning I throw some cheese on top and nuke for 50 seconds also added bacon, ham etc. eat from cup. If I need to heat sauce or a 1/2 cup or cup of even meat I use this method, one less dish.

[@laurabeaulieu1233]

I know about that Facebook group! I can’t imagine there’s more than one lol. It gets mentioned sometimes in a Massachusetts /nh food group sometimes

[@amyclark9581]

Could I add some spices and make a pasta sauce?

I can’t vouch for it but according to this recipe you can! www.food.com/recipe/tomato-soup-spaghetti-sauce-385629

Like Mac, tomato sauce and paste kill me later. I learned to substitute tomato soup in recipes, it is a lot less acidic!

I interesting!

Very impressive, girlfriend. It's like looking in a mirror. My late hubby said he had never seen anyone make so my delicious meals ,just using chicken. Oh! How I miss him.. I just wish I had written them all down! Ur exactly right, of using what you have. Even my hubby came up with a few recipes 😁. Then I had to go thru Chemo. But I lost part of my memory???? I hate that. Then 3 yrs later, the love of my life, wasn't so lucky. Write those delish recipes down. You could have a daughter one day?😊

The recipe called for 1/4 cup of water and it doesn't seem like you put it in. Should it have had the water added?

Why is the roast beef gray?

It’s one from a vacuum sealed package vs from the deli so it’s well cooked vs more rare.

Maybe some more water for the rice?
