I've never liked Campbell's tomato soup. When my parents would fix it, I would ask them for a taste just to make sure I didn't like it. Yep, still don't. Then I was introduced to a version that begins with Campbell's and adds canned (diced) tomatoes, cream cheese (NOW we're talkin'!), and basil. I forget the other ingredients, but it's wonderful. My mom made it recently for some people and one gal took a small portion b/c she didn't like tomato soup, but then went back for seconds. She liked it! The recipe is from the Naniboujou Lodge near Grand Marais, MN. Despite it starting with Cambell's, it tastes nothing like it.
