What each ingredient does
- Canned tomatoes
- Provide the main body, acidity and tomato flavor of the soup.
- Cornstarch
- Thickens the liquid as it heats, giving the soup a looser body.
The step that matters
Thicken with cornstarch as desired. Cornstarch must be stirred into liquid and brought to a simmer to swell and thicken. Added as a dry powder to a cold liquid, it clumps, and too much makes the soup gluey.
