Tomato Juice, Tomato Soup, Tomato Sauce, and Ketchup

No.

Ketchup has sugar.

Soup has spices, salt and other ingredients

Excuse me.

Is this a hopscotch chant?

i'm more interested if a tomato sauce can be substituted for tomato paste in a recipe?

Not really, r4. Tomato sauce isn't concentrated enough. I buy tomato paste in tubes or jars, so I don't end up with those cans from which I used only one or two tablespoons.

Ketchup is mostly sugar. No one should use it, ever, IMO.

If you need to substitute tomato sauce (the plain, sugar-free kind made from just pureed tomatoes) for tomato paste, you'll need to add a LOT more of the sauce, and then try to leave out some other liquid from the recipe, or cook it down to reduce the water content.

What about Fancy Ketchup?

That’s why I only use Catsup!

Ketchup contains sugar, tomato juice does not. I prefur catsup.

Both ketchup and Catsup are gross and made to mask the flavor of bad food.

I hate that some people call spaghetti sauce "tomato sauce."

I don't call anything "spaghetti sauce," r11, but there are three different tomato sauces I make. I call them tomato sauces to distinguish them from the meat sauces I make which also have tomato as a component.

If I'm not mistaken ketchup has vinegar in it too.

Quite the tomato!

Quite big tits.

They are the same. That’s the joke.

I am aware R16 but if I had said Ketchup some asshole would be saying 'that's why I eat catsup' so I got both out of the way.

"Catsup" can actually refer to non-tomato-based condiments. It is derived from an Asian term that originally referred to a paste of fish and herbs somewhat similar to anchovy spread. You can find fish or clam catsup in some markets.

Ketchup is always tomato.

Op, is your photo from the new show Bros in the Kitchen?

Tomato juice is just that: juice. Drunk as as is, added as a mixer, or used to add liquid with a little flavor.

Tomato soup: A prepared food dish. Usually made by roasting and pureeing tomatoes, along with other herbs and spices. May contain cream. Served as part of a meal.

Tomato sauce: Generic term for many tomato-based sauces that are made from various combinations of tomatoes, herbs, olive oil, garlic, etc. Used in many pasta dishes, and in both French and Italian cuisine.

Tomato paste: A highly condensed tomato puree. Nowadays purchased in tubes as opposed to cans. Used to add tomato flavor without adding too much liquid. Commonly used in rice dishes, or to pep up homemade sauces when fresh tomatoes are not a peak flavor/ripeness.

Ketchup/catsup: A condiment made from tomatoes cooked with sugar, spices, and vinegar. Homemade versions can be tasty, but most people buy bottled versions that are extremely high in sugar and high fructose corn sweeteners. Most traditional cooking use is in meatloaf or veggie loaf recipes to add flavor but not too much moisture.
