Dried tomatoes vs. dried tomatoes in oil

conversionsubstitutionstomatoes

I have a soup recipe that calls for 24 oz. dried tomatoes in oil, drained and patted dry. I would like to use dried tomatoes (not in oil), but don’t have a clue how much to use.

Is there a conversion by weight? Should I substitute by volume?

One solution is to rehydrate your dried tomatoes with water and add them by volume. If it would be me I'd rather just measure by volume from the beginning, since they have almost the same size in oil or not.
