Favorite Canned Soup?

[Lyle]

What's a Publix?

Publix is a grocery store chain down here in the southeast. (Maybe they have 'em outside of the southeast too, for all I know.)

Favorite canned soup is Campbell's Chicken Noodle-O's. Also like Campbell's Cream of Mushroom, Creamy Chicken Noodle and Cream of Chicken and Mushroom.

Minnestrone!
Much better home made - the canned soups are too salty.

My pick too.

Interesting that so many people have commented on how salty they find canned soup. Over here, Heinz bowed to pressure to dramatically reduce the amount of salt in their soups last summer. As I remember, the shelves were literally cleared of their products and the old stock given to homeless charities.

It sounds like we'll have to have a duel.

I'll meet you on a loud bumpy bus next time I'm in [edit] the Bay area.

well it's a pretty common super power...
and the worst vehicles are infact 4wd-loud-extremly vibrating army trucks where you sit on those uncomfortable wooden benches which are going through the whole truck .. add no windows on top of hat and you've got the perfect sleeping pill even ebating public transportation.. i sometimes fell asleep before we even left the camp ...

personally i buy canned goulash from time to time it is the best soup for those cold days which where exhausting or after skiing ..
for goulash: there are in fact two big variations: the original one is a soup and then younger one is more of a stew

Oh. I don't know exactly how much it is full price, but I get it for 99 cents! huzzah! I win either way.

Guylás is supposed to be a stew, at least in Hungary.

Campbell's Chicken Noodle. Old Skool. Yummikins.

 

[SamIchi]

Cannes soup, makes my stomach hurt. It aint really healthy.

 

[VanMac]

Cream of Mushroom for condesnsed soups. Love the stuff.

But nowadays there's all those canned soups that you don't need to add water to. Those tend to be pretty good quality and I've tried a bunch of them I've really like. The campells one with chicken and wild rice is particularly good.

The most common soup for me though is beef top ramen with Cholula hot sauce and fresh ground pepper.

I like to take Cambells Cream of Mushroom, and a can of Jolly Grean Giant Corn, and cook them together. Lots of salt and pepper. Eat it right out of the pot.

Progresso Split Pea and Ham is the way to go...it really sticks to the ribs and fills you up with rich wintery goodness.


Edit: In the realm of real soup there is no contest, whatsoever, to real New England Clam Chowder, you can only get the real stuff in Maine or Massachusetts, and you have to take the time to enjoy it.

that's why i added it: no it's not
"goulash the stew" mostly originated in vienna in the 19th century ... that's why you can get most variations of "goulash the stew" there and not in hungary (where it's the soup)
and it's my favourite stew

(in hungary i think they have some dishes like Pörkölt and Paprikás which are much more of a stew)

Yummy...

Without any doubt, it'd be Cream of Mushroom!!!!!!!!! Mmmm... satisfying ^_^

Paprikás (like Csiga Paprikás) is a reddish cream gravy with dumplings. My adoptive Hungarian grandmother knew a little something about Hungarian cooking.

Now, I'm really hungry.

For me it is Progresso soups, in particular their Hearty Tomato and Tomato Basil soups. Now I just have to chose one for lunch tomorrow.

My favorite soup is Campbell's Batman noodle soup. Why? My kids love it, which makes my life easier.

I think that's the one I get for 99¢
I hope you aren't paying a lot!

/I love you, 99 cent store

I am a budget shopper. Never pay more than $1.25 for either Cambells or Progresso soups! And watch out if there is a sale and coupons! My highlight of the week is doing a trip to Safeway and Giant with their sales and coupons! Sad, but it is one of the few joys right now.

Have you ever shopped at Big Lots or Odd Lots? They get close outs and quite a few decent groceries. In this area, their Mexican section is better than that of grocery stores.

Anyone ever shopped at CUB in the Midwest? That was a shopping experience...I think it's gone now, but it was warehouse grocery bulk at its finest.

A brand named Rienzi makes a pretty good minestrone and pasta fagiole.
Especially good with a little bit of hot sauce on a cold day/night.

 

[billyergs]

Also, French onion soup with a slice of melted swiss cheese on top is nice, but it's one of those things that can only be eaten once in a while or you'll get sick of it.
And it's high in sodium.

 

[MongoTheGeek]

I like Cambell's bean with bacon. I eat the condensed soup cold out of the can.

My son does the whole sleep in the car thing.

 

[barneygumble]

I make my own soups, all you have to do is chop and throw everything into a pot and cook for awhile, cheap too.

My specialty is minestrone which i cook in batches perhaps every two months and get perhaps 25 litres for $40 or so. Tastes a dream too with a little helping of parmesan reggiano grated on top.

If i have to go canned soup, it would be chicken and corn, although again i prefer to make my own.

 

[fistful]

Tomato, thickened with crumbled soda crackers.

I used to like soup in a can, but my wife has altered my eating habits enough that I can't eat it any more. My wife's superpower is that she can taste even the smallest amounts of salt, so as a result we don't put salt on anything. After a couple years of the new lower sodium diet (I still eat chips and stuff like that though), those canned soups just taste too salty to me.

Ditto. I pretty much don't eat processed foods these days so it nearly all tastes too salty when I do. Even biscuits/cookies.

The only thing I like too much salt on now are crisps/potato chips and chips/fries. Obviously the latter with far too much malt vinegar as well....

As to the original question. I always liked potato and leek soup...still. Just not out of a can - too salty.

I haven't tried that one, will have to (I have a weakness for kid-targeted food). I like the Campbell's kiddie chicken stars (noodles) soup. Those tiny stars are so cute! But I have to really dilute that bugger, way too salty.
