I've been playing with a tomato soup mix recipe for a few days now. So far, I have made my mouth sad. Here is my recipe for one serving so far:

  1. 2 Tbs. Tomato Powder
  2. 1 tsp Chicken bouillon
  3. 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
  4. 1/4 tsp onion powder
  5. 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  6. 2 Tbs. Potato Flakes
  7. 5 Tbs. Nonfat dry milk
  8. 1 cup water


Basically I take this dry mix, add it to the water and bring to a boil and then let it sit for five minutes, covered. I need to start using low sodium, or salt free bouillon as it is quite salty. I'm thinking I need to use a powdered potato rather than flakes because the mouth feel is pretty gnarly. It is sludge-like. I'm thinking the addition of some olive oil to the mix at cooking time should help the milk proteins not coagulate also, which is another source of a nasty mouth feel.

Does anyone have a tomato soup recipe that they like, or do you prefer buying a commercial dry mix?
