Substitute for tomato soup

[MidgetDogg]

I have this really good recipe that I found for chili made with ground buffalo. The only thing about it I don't like is that it calls for a can of tomato soup, in addition to the chopped tomatoes. Do you think I could just drop the soup from the recipe and add another can of tomatoes? I did use the Healthy Request variety when I made it, but I am trying to keep processed foods out as much as possible.

A can of tomatoes probably wont do it. How about a couple tablespoons of tomato paste with broth or tomato sauce and balance it out with some brown or granulated sugar and some salt (you have to do that because tomato paste is bland and tastes odd without it.)

Ok, thanks... I'll give it a shot. I don't have much culinary knowledge.

V8 is another good option! They have lots of flavors & variety. I use it for cooking, thanks to my grandma!
