Fast cream of tomato soup is another way to use up paste and any cream you have sitting around. Add water or stock to the paste to thin it to soup consistency-season with a bit of sauteed minced onion, garlic optional, salt and pepper to taste and some basil. Depending on the flavor, a bit of sugar may bring out the tomatoey goodness. Simmer for 15 minutes or so and stir in cream just before serving. You’ll never need the boxed or canned tomato soup again—this tastes way better.
