I am quite pleased to share with you my honest review of Dei Fratelli Gluten-Free Condensed Tomato Soup.  A while back, I agreed to work with them and give my opinion of their product in exchange for free samples from their company.   I was not required to give a favorable review, only an honest review.

First of all, let me say that no one in my family has issues with digesting gluten.  I do know that eating gluten-free foods is better for digestion.  This makes me feel really good about trying Dei Fratelli Gluten-Free Condensed Tomato Soup.  This is a family-owned company that was founded in Toledo, Ohio in 1923.  Their products include tomato and sauerkraut products, and since they introduced their new gluten-free condensed tomato soup, consumers will only find this version of condensed tomato soup from now on.  The nice thing about this is that if you have someone in your family who does require gluten-free products, you don’t have to worry about searching all over for a gluten-free version of a product.  The entire family can benefit from the same product.

I was able to use their condensed tomato soup in two different ways.  I didn’t concern myself with keeping everything gluten-free, but I was pleased with the results of both “cooking experiments.”  One was dinner, and one was dessert.

I was cooking a pasta dish, and I ran out of spaghetti sauce.  I was going to use some canned tomatoes, and then I remembered this product.  I opened up the can, and I was immediately impressed by the rich look and smell of this soup.  It worked perfectly in our meal, and you would never have known that I substituted.  My daughter, who does not like tomato products, even enjoyed it.

The second use of this tomato soup was a little more unconventional.  I decided to make chocolate cake using tomato soup.  You can find the recipe here.  I followed the recipe, and I am getting ready to frost the cake as I write this.

This will be going with me to my Bible study group, and I will update here with the responses to the cake.  I tasted the batter, and I think this will be fantastic!

I think that Dei Fratelli has the best brand of condensed tomato sauce out there.  I am not a fan of eating tomato soup by itself, but once you start cooking with this quality ingredient, the possibilities are endless!  Be sure to check out the company on their site and social media for the latest information and updates.

Update:  Everyone loved this!  It is a keeper for sure!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

    Wow! I have never heard of anyone using tomato soup in chocolate cake. That is interesting.

      I had heard about people using it, but I had never had a chance to try it. And there was not a single person that did not like it. Some thought they could taste the tomato soup, but they knew it was in the cake. The batter had a stronger tomato flavor, but once it was cooked, it was barely noticeable.
