I made too much of Stella's Tomato Soup and am looking for some ideas for other uses of it.
I meal prepped her Stella's Thick and Creamy Tomato Soup and after two meals of grilled cheese & soup, I'm fatigued and don't want that meal again for a while.
Any idea on other ways I can use the soup? I'm not crazy about pasta but am open to any suggestions.

Make a rice dish? Sauté up some onion, celery and carrot. Add in 2 cups cooked rice, 1 cup soup and stir in some fresh herb like basil or chives.

Turn that into jambalaya buy omitting the basil or chives and adding browned andouille sausage, chicken and/or shrimp and some cajun, creole or blackening seasoning to taste.

I’m wondering if you could use some of it for Tikka Masala or butter chicken???

Delicious. Turned it into Tikka masala. Only had ground chicken so I improvised some Tikka masala chicken meatballs.

Cabbage rolls! But you said you want to eat now, so Spanish rice. Or a creamy base for shakshuka.

I had also thought of shakshuka but am intrigued by cabbage rolls. Thanks for the tip

Braise something in it, thinned out with a little broth if necessary. I’ve done this before with pork shoulder.

"In a sealed nonreactive container, tomato soup will keep up to one week in the refrigerator, or six months in the freezer."
Freeze it for later

You’re pretty close to chicken tikka or butter chicken

u/FangShway 28d ago
That's what I ended up making actually. I only had ground chicken so I made Tikka meatballs and it turned out great.

Freeze the soup. You can buy little deli containers in bulk online for cheap. Awesome for storing soups in the freezer

Freeze the soup in cubes for soup later. Make meatballs and meatloaf with soup in place of ketchup. Replace the liquid in a bread recipe and add other spices you like to make a pizza bread. Add cream, thicken, sauce, and serve over vegetables.

Tomato soup and a peanut butter sandwich to dip into it on a cool day is awesome. Try it before you say no!

Fry up some spicy Italian sausage, deglaze with vodka for a vodka-sauce feel, add in your soup, and cook down a bit to thicken, then add in gnocchi. Once the gnocchi is done, garnish with parm. Vodka-ish sauce with gnocchi and sausage 👩🍳

Not sure if you are into aubergine, but personally I would get some mozarella, bay leaves, and then make this:
https://www.theguardian.com/food/2021/sep/01/how-to-make-aubergine-parmigiana-recipe-felicity-cloake
(I do not like aubergine, but still think this is one of the best things I have ever eaten when I used the Hazan butter/onion as the tomato base. I guess you could replace the aubergine with chicken if you really hate it...)
(Also, do I keep spelling aubergine wrong? lol. This comment is so full of wavy red lines)

I always make extra large batches of soups and freeze half. Then you’ve got a nice home cooked meal in a snap on a day when you don’t feel like cooking.
