It's gonna be a hot dish, we're gonna have a hot dish tonight

When a hot dish recipe calls for adding two cans of condensed soup, do you just add the condensed soup, or do you also add the additional water called for in the soup can's (but not recipe's) instructions?
I would imagine that if it wanted you to add the water, it would say so. Or it would just say to use soup, not condensed soup. Why would it specify condensed if it wants you to add the water anyway?

No, just the soup.

As a Minnesotan, I can assure you that they mean just the contents of the can.

In any non-soup recipe using condensed soup, just add the soup without water unless the recipe specifically states otherwise. The soup is supposed to have a creamy consistency in these contexts not a soupy one.

After long years in Wisconsin and Minnesota, I can assure you it’s just the contents of the can. Adding water would be an interesting choice, as they say.

Also a Minnesotan. It's just the contents of the can. It is serving as a substitute for white sauce.
