Tomato Soup Barbecue Sauce

Tomato Soup Barbecue Sauce is my recipe of the day  with the blogging group Soup Swappers. We join forces mothly to post on various soup topics decided by the host.

July is my turn to host and I suggested  we take some leftover soups of ours and turn it into something else equally delicious. Many people prefer something besides soup in the hot summer months.

Clearing our freezers of leftover soups is a chance to play with ingredients. Making a barbecue sauce from leftover tomato soup  is fun and fast. I have used my recipe for Winter Tomato Soup as the base. Just make sure that when using this soup for barbecue sauce, that it is made with water. And not the cream of tomato  soup version with milk.

Winter Tomato Soup

We are a small family so often only eat half a recipe and freeze the rest for later. Digging in the freezer often brings up  foods that can be transformed with a few ingredients.

In this case the soup  becomes a sauce that I used on  grilled chicken thighs. You could also use it on pulled pork, ribs, chicken wings, burgers, and more.

If you don’t have any soup set back,   you can  always make a batch  for your base. If you like, use the full recipe,  doubling the sauce ingredients. This will  give you five cups sauce, plenty for a nice sized family barbecue.
