Macaroni Tomato Soup


I don't know why I never made this soup before but this is the simplest, fastest recipe and not only is it great on a cold, rainy (or snowy) day, but kids seem to LOVE it. And you only need three ingredients, not including the Goldfish crackers as a garnish. Anyway, I saw the Taiwan episode of "The Layover" with Anthony Bourdain and he went to a street breakfast place where they just made tomato soup with macaroni, and you could add fried Spam or a fried egg on top or both....in Taiwan!!! I omitted the Spam and egg and just did a straight up tomato soup with macaroni. Delish! And my daughter loves it.

INGREDIENTS (serves 4 kiddies or 2 adults)
  • 1 can of low sodium condensed tomato soup
  • 1/2 cup elbow macaroni
  • water
  • Goldfish crackers, optional
DIRECTIONS

In a 4 quart stock pot add the can of condensed tomato soup and  1-1/2  can of water (the can says 1 can of water, but I find that extra half lets the pasta cook through faster). Add the elbow macaroni and bring to a boil. Turn down to a simmer and let it cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until pasta is cooked through.Serve with a side of Goldfish crackers, if you like.
