Honestly, I generally use heated V-8 juice.

It's really quite good!

V-8 Juice heated up with some oregano and lots of diced veggies added
and heated until they're cooked a bit make a very respectable quick
soup. Low calorie and packed with nutritional punch.

That does sound good! I usually use milk, though...

I have not seen the Campbell's brand here - so I can't really "judge".
However, the canned tomato soup we get here is generally so awful that I
avoid it like the plague. Yuk.

V-8 juice, lightly nuked. :-)

Dad has made it using some paste added, and 1/2 & 1/2.

I've honestly not bought canned tomato soup in years.

It can also make a nice base for chili... Learned that from a co-worker
when we won the hospital chili cookoff using his recipe. The base was
V-8.

Campbell's has become disgustingly sweet, IMO. They seem to have
increased the sweetener in the recipe to cater to kids. Blech. A few of
the house or generic brands taste less sweet to me and I stick with them
when buying canned tomato soup.

I think that V-8 is made by Campbell's.

<googles>

Yep! :-) It is!

Canned tomato soup is boring.

I actually like V-8, both regular and low salt.
It's delicious hot when you are in the mood...

or even cold with Vodka and a celery stick. <G>

As I understand it, V8 juice is mixed-veggie juice - but mainly tomato?

If so, we can get a very nice brand of pure tomato juice here with no
preservatives (and no sodium) so I think I will try your suggestion. Thanks!

Yes, but the other flavors do make a difference.
From memory there are 8 juices hence the name.

I don't currently have any on hand, but I believe it's Tomato, celery,
watercress, carrot... Can't remember the other 4.

Anyone???

Yup. Bloody Mary. Typical "Monday" drink. The celery is the "healthy"
part. <veg>

When I make it (which isn't often, but I used to eat it all the time),
it depends on who's eating it, and how I'm feeling about dairy at the
time. My really favorite way is with a can of milk, but James doesn't
like creamed soups (except clam chowder), so I use water when he's
sharing, or when I'm avoiding dairy.

I think I know what you mean... if its not too salty, its too sweet -
Yuk, I say again. Luckily fresh tomatoes are readily available all year
round here, so... nothing wrong with "making your own". JMHO.

I had you wrong, I was thinking you added V8 to the canned
tomato soup, which sounds good to me (I love the other seven
juices in V8). But I like your idea too. Lots of interesting
new ideas here... :-)

No, the V-8 is used as is!

No canned tomato soup is harmed in that recipe. <G>

Most of the time I am in a hurry at work, and just nuke V-8 straight, as
is, for a quick hot meal.

With or without other items.

Thought beets was one but was not sure, thanks!

I don't have a bottle on hand at the moment.

This thread has set a craving tho' <G>

Campbell's is pretty awful. And salty (710 mg sodium per half cup!). I
gave up canned soups years ago. Tomato soup is so easy to make from
lower-salt canned tomatoes (190 mg sodium per half cup), with a big
dollop of home-grown pesto the flavor can't be beat. And the canned
tomato is a lot more versatile in the pantry.

I thought about using something like V-8 juice, but my husband doesn't
like the taste of it. He prefers straight tomato juice.

Don't know about your stuff, but some dried herbs and a little hot sauce
help out around here.

I have always used a half can of milk and a half can of water.

I do half milk & half water. When sis & I were kids, often we used to
share what we made for lunch & we had the milk - vs- water arguement
for t-soup. Sis being the older one suggested we go half way, ever
since, that is how I make it. :-)

And then melt a couple of slices of American cheese into it.

The nutrition info on the label is about the condensed soup
though -- if you're adding a can of water to that, it's about
half. Still high, but not as bad as it sounds on the label...
