That's why I make huge pots of soups... I know what's/who's in it...
then freeze individual portions to use later. With many types of soup
I reduce them so I have 50% condensed soups so I save on freezer
space. Actually my homemade soups are so flavorful and thick that I
can add back better than half the water. I don't bother making tomato
soups... condensed tomato soup is always in my pantry in the form of
canned tomato paste.... only takes minutes to turn a tin of tomato
paste into a big bowl of tomato egg drop, tomato rice, tomato
tubesteak, even tomato ramen. All commercial tomato food products are
made from paste and/or dehydrated tomatoes; tomato juice, ketchup,
tomato sauce, all tomato based soups. Yes, the meat used in canned
soup is ugly, and canned soups are ridiculously expensive.
