Why didn’t I think of this?

Canned soup can be transformed into a flavorful marinade or glaze for meats. Combine a can of French onion or mushroom soup with soy sauce, garlic, and herbs for a savory marinade that tenderizes and infuses flavor into chicken, beef, or pork. For a glaze, reduce a can of tomato soup with honey, mustard, and spices for a sweet and tangy finish to grilled or roasted meats. These simple preparations can elevate your dishes and make use of your canned soup supply.

Believe it or not, canned soup can be an ingredient in baking. Use a can of tomato or vegetable soup to add moisture and flavor to savory bread recipes. Mix the soup with flour, baking powder, and your choice of herbs and cheese for a quick bread that’s perfect for serving with soups and stews. The soup not only adds flavor but also keeps the bread tender and moist, making it a unique and tasty addition to your baking repertoire.
