Excellent recipe. I use half the water and substitute the remainder with either chicken, beef or vegetable broth. We love macaroni and so we increase that by 1/2 cup. Have also used V-8 as suggested by anothe reviewer...either way, delicious!! When reheating we add a couple of tablespoons of water to thin it down as it thickens when refrigerated. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for posting this. I wanted something to go with sandwiches so I thought I would give this a try. This was a great start but I did make some modifications to suit our taste - I added one small can of tomato paste for some additional tomato flavor and also some old bay seasoning for a nice "kick". It went over so well that it is now our new favorite soup. No more canned tomato soup for us.
