Made this on Saturday and it was excellent. I did make one minor change. I didn’t have a can of tomato soup but I did have homemade tomato & roasted red pepper soup in the freezer so used that. I also added a dash of cayenne pepper to spice it up a bit. The taste was so good my husband and son finished it off with no leftovers. Thanks for the recipe.

This was sooo good. Added a splash of sriracha because we like it and followed the recipe to a “T” otherwise. Excellent! Thanks!
