Can I substitute tomato basil soup for tomato sauce in recipes?

Can I substitute tomato basil soup for tomato sauce in recipes?" Hey foodies! I've got a surplus of tomato basil soup and was thinking—could I use it as a substitute for tomato sauce in recipes? Would it alter the flavor too much, or is it a viable option? Excited to hear your thoughts!

Hey there! You can definitely use tomato basil soup as a substitute for tomato sauce, but keep in mind it might be a bit thinner and slightly sweeter. It could add a nice, fresh twist to your dish, though! If you're okay with a more delicate flavor, go for it—just consider reducing it a bit on the stove to thicken. Enjoy experimenting in the kitchen!
