very easy. i added butter sauted onions, a tablespoon of minced garlic and a tablespoon of ginger paste to give it some spicy depth. served with some bread on a cool november evening it was delicous. with less broth it could be a great pasta sauce, i think. i served it to the husband as a low calorie but high fiber meal for his new low carb diet and he really liked it. thanks for sharing, its a keeper!

I just made this soup and followed the recipe adding nothing. I wasn't sure about adding milk to the tomato soup but did add just one can of milk. Enjoyed it very much.

I didn't think the flavor was great, even after I added my own spices. I added roasted garlic, S&P, and basil, but it still needs more "pizzaz". Good, no doubt, but not great. It was fine for dipping grilled cheese into. Just to note: I also ended up adding more chicken broth than called for to thin it out, and the eggplants I used weighed about 1lb each.

Really, I just took the general concepts of this recipe but ended up with something fabulous! I sauteed the eggplant with onions and garlic until tender and then added a can of tomato soup, along with a can of water. The addition of a generous amount of basil completed this lovely, simple meal.

This was very yummy, but I did tweak it a bit as some of the other reviewers did. I sliced the eggplant in 1/2 and coated both sides w/EVOO, S&P, and baked as directed. I then took out the insides and mashed them in a pot so it was chunky. In addition to the tomato soup, I added dried basil, oregano, onion powder, a touch of salt, and freshly minced garlic. I needed to add a lot more chicken broth than directed, because it was very thick. Once it was to my desired consistency, it was fantastic! We served it w/Big Y snowflake rolls- super yummy and great for dipping. We will be making it again, but will need to make a larger amount because it was such a hit w/my family, kids included (3 & 7).

After adding some extra ingredients suggested by others this soup turned out great. I used 2 small eggplants, one fresh tomato, 1 can of soup, some fresh basil, some garlic, grated italian cheese blend, italian seasoning, some butter and topped with a dollup of sour cream.

I like eggplant, but I have to agree with some of the other comments. It's a bland soup, but it could be a good base soup. I had to add onion powder, garlic powder, garlic salt, basil, Italian seasoning, and some crumbles of feta cheese to make it something I wanted to eat.

Super easy! I only had 1 eggplant handy, so I only used 1 can soup. But, I did add in a can of crushed tomatoes and a chopped green pepper. Love it!

I tweaked this recipe a bit after reading its reviews, and LOVED it. I used only one can of tomato soup and added four fresh tomatoes that I chopped and blended. Based on others' recommendations I added fresh garlic and grated cheese, along with some salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. It turned out delicious!

I made this with crushed tomatoes instead of soup and added some garlic. Served it with cheese over the top and a touch of sour cream. Teste was excellent but texture was a little off.
