I settled on the $.69 can of regular tomato soup. So it's grilled
cheese and Campbell's tomato soup (made with half and half and some
chopped tomato) for lunch tomorrow.

One of the things I make for general cooking purposes is pureed
tomatoes (not canned tomato puree). Put a 28oz can of whole tomatoes in
juice into the blender, and puree it good. Then push the resulting
product through a sieve to get the seeds out. That leaves a fairly
liquid, reasonably fresh-tasting tomato puree.

A slug of that into the canned tomato soup reduces the sweetness and
brightens up the flavor substantially.
