Can you substitute tomato soup for tomato paste?!
Answers: I'm making vegetable soup but don't have any tomato paste. Can I use canned tomato soup mix instead? How much would I use?
Yes you can, I do this all the time. Nothing slows me down in the kitchen at my age!
You didn't say how much soup you were making so I would just say "experiment"...add half the can of soup, stir well, give it a taste test. if you think you'd want more tomato taste then that...add the rest.
Most veggie soup recipes (with a tomato base) are very flexible when it comes to how much of a veggie to add.
You can usually add as much as double the amount of a vegetable called for without messing the taste up.
Spice amounts are another story. Better increase or decrease those with caution.
use canned tomatoes.....i don't know about the mix thing u're talking about but yeah...use can tomatoes. for the soup cos they are the best for you....even better than fresh tomatoes or tomatoe paste......
Yes, you can...it will give a different flavor than if you used the tomato paste...the paste is stronger but I'd use a can of soup and several cans of water to the desired consistency. I t would be fine with vegetables and maybe some beef in it.
Have fun with it...experimenting is a good teacher.
Tomato paste is highly concentrated, so you should use at least double the amount of tomato soup as a replacement.
u don't usually use tomato paste in soup the canned soup would be fine but are u using any kind of tomatoes period in it? if not y not? thats what makes veg soup!!!!!!!
EWW NO! Soup is much less dense and less thick than Paste! If you wanna substitute something for tomato paste use tomato sauce. Its about the same density.
yes the canned soup will be fine. If it was one can tomato paste then use one can of soup. I use the soup in my cooking. It will taste great. This is not something that the amount or kind would affect it. Good luck!
just go to a nearby gas station or market. i know that every grocery store has tomato paste! best of luck!
Of course you can. I'd add a shot of ketchup along with the soup, though, if you're looking for the deep red color you'd get from the paste. Other great alternative additions for good veggie soup are V-8 juice and even Tomato or Picante bouillon.
