Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

You can puree with a stick blender. Add cornflour mixed with water to thicken if preferred. My family no longer like the spicy canned tomato soup, they demand this one. Next day the are a lot stronger so keep that in mind when increasing the chilli. Beef stock can be used.
