We bet if you look in your pantry, you’ve got a few cans of regular ol’ tomato soup just sitting there untouched. If the thought of heating up one of those cans bores you to tears, you’ve got nothing to worry about ’cause the Mr. Food Test Kitchen has 7 fabulous recipes that’ll help put those pantry staples to use in a delicious recipe.
