Can I use soup as pasta sauce ???

[nutcracker]

Brought some chicken and mushroom tortellini from Asda and picked up what I thought was a sauce to go with it, but it's not it's mushroom soup.

Can I still use it ???

I know Campbells have recipes where they use their soup as pasta sauces. Might be a bit runny. You could liven it up a bit with some cream & white wine?

What you could do is fry up some onion, mushrooms and so on, then add the soup and simmer it a bit to reduce it, if it's too thin.

Or stir in a couple of spoonfuls of cream cheese/Dairylea/Philadephia to thicken it up.

Hmm haven't got any of those things in.

Could I use cornflour to thicken it up ???

Am really not a cooking person, so sorry if i sound s bit thick.

I use tomato soup as a sauce

I read that as 'soap'!! Been on here too long eyes are going fuzzy... wish DS would wake up and gerroff my knee!

You could try thickening it with cornflour, mix it to a smooth paste first before you add it, then simmer for a few minutes.

It might affect the taste though, make it a bit floury.

Yes-I have done before.
Mushroom soup is also good for putting with chicken pieces in vol-au-vents

Think i'll wait and see what it's like when i start heating it and if it seems too runny i'll tyr a bit of cornflour.

Thanks

i'd splash a bit of tabasco or worcestershire sauce in it to spice it up
