All other kinds I can make better myself. After trying doctoring it up with various milk products for years, Iβve decided straight is best. Cheez-its add crunch.
Campbellβs Tomato with about 3/4 cup milk along with a sandwich. Also Progresso NE Clam Chowder hits the spot with a sandwich on a cool / cold fall / winter day. Makes for a good deer hunting lunch.
Yup, mostly in wintertime, and tomato is a favorite. Along with the ones with beef & vegetables in them. Campbell's once had one they called "Scotch Broth", but I haven't seen a can of that in years. It was a real nice meat, potato, and vegetable mixture and was a favorite of mine.
The progresso tomato basil is good stuff eat canned soup during hunting season only at the cabin. Stock up maybe 12 cans and eat it after coming in froze to warm up.
HEB has chicken corn chowder, 440 calories a can. 880 in two, about a $3.75 lunch. Pop top no can opener needed. A no muss, no fuss 15 minute lunch at work. Cold out of the can.
Calories on demand, I keep a couple of extras handy in case Iβm working late.
High in salt tho, so only two or three times a week.

It was made with mutton.
And barley as I recall.
I loved it.
Mutton is not on the menu of many folks nowadays.
Haven't heard much mention of folks eating barley either.
I used to take a can of Campbell's Noodles and Ground Beef with me to work when I was working graveyards. They quit making it years ago. it was pretty tasty and quick.

I always toss some barley in my vegetable soup. Quaker sells it. Adds some chew and doesnβt get all mushy like the pasta some people add.
Just remembered, dad and I had an epic evening on the Deschutes fly fishing during the salmon fly hatch. Big, heavy rainbows and lots of them, 16β to every once in awhile 20β (or a lying 21β but hey, weβre fishermen and thatβs what we do). We fished until dark and got back to camp late. Got out the jug of Jack and commenced to celebrate around the campfire, no glasses needed.
A few pulls turned into a few more, which seemed to require another for proper respect. Along about that time we realized that we had Dinty Moore Beef Stew as our only dinner option.
My dad turned to me (I was maybe 20 at the time, plenty experienced with celebratory Jack) and suggested we take our evening calories in the form of alcohol (that man could turn a phrase). I readily agreed, seeing as how Dinty Moore and I had a history of gastrointestinal disagreements anyway.
I use some Campbellβs soups as the base that I add a lot to. Like New England Clam Chowder. Itβs pretty dismal straight from the can. Iβll add a can of minced clams with the juice , some dried chopped onion , a pat of butter , a little bit of black pepper , red pepper , garlic , and a tiny sprinkle of paprika. Add 3/4 soup can of half and half and 3/4 soup can of water. That makes it better and enough for a meal.
Canned soup? I guess it beats a poke in the eye with a sharp stick and will keep you from starving. π€·ββοΈ The wife and me make chicken soup, vegetable beef, tomato, asparagus and potato soups quite often. Most of the time in the winter when it gets really nasty out, we'll gather in the kitchen and get our "soup" on! Swanson's can't hold a candle to home made chicken pot pie!
Note: Campbell's is just red goop in a can compared to homemade tomato soup!
If wifey ainβt here and itβs winter and no 5 day old left overs Iβll forage the pantry for Campbellβs chicken noodle phugk the chicken and star off brand Iβve made it known and better be some crackers in the pantry as wellπ€£
I like it, even if wifey is here. Chicken noodle, vegetable beef, tomato, cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, bean with bacon, split pea with ham. Split pea with ham is my favorite. I grew up having it for lunch. Still really enjoy a toasted cheese sandwich and a bowl of tomato soup.
Habitant Pea Soup! Only available here in Canada I believe. My Mom and Dad live in Southern Missouri, I bring a dozen cans every year. Love the stuff, toss a slice of Kraft Cheese or 2 in the bottom of the bowl, add really hot soup to it. Gonna have some tomorrow for Supper I'm thinking. Jeff
Canned soup? Only if I'm starving. If I can spare 30 minutes before the hunger pangs double me over, I cook a package of Ramen noodles with diced onions, celery, sliced carrots, a tablespoon of minced garlic, and a big can of chunk chicken. Just enough water to cover everything, plus a spoonfull of chicken boullion powder. Simmer for half an hour to cook the noodles and chow down. Makes two big servings.
I would eat that. Hope I never want to. 2 cases extra in a load to a grocery warehouse, told to dispose of them. Picked up my next load, stopped along the road to squirt the dirt. Was hungry, it was Supper time and I hadn't eaten in almost 24hours. Got a quart can out of the sidebox, applied the P38 dug one out with my pocket knife. Got out of the truck, set the can under the drives and smashed it flat.
One day without eating wasn't enough to make want that crap.
Yeah Iβll eat it. Some better than others. Ate a lot of cambells Chunkyβs after school when I was a kid.
The thing with making great soups at home, besides the steps and time involved in making it, is the amounts of stuff you have to buy to make a proper one. Take carrot, celery and onion for example (a common base to a lot of Soups) - you gotta buy a head of celery because they donβt sell it buy the rib, a whole onion, and an average sized carrot, and youβre already looking at more than a meal sized yield before you even start getting into whatever else is going in. So when I make a soup, itβs going to have to be a main course for a matter of days. I guess I donβt know how to small-batch them.
Pretty easy just to pop a can of something for a one-and-done.
Not a soup guy as I like something to bite into but the wife gets roasted red pepper and tomato from Costco in a box. Itβs good on occasion with grilled cheese sandwiches.
Everybody so worried about salt. Fugk it I say. Probably more bad science from dieticians. They've gotten just about all of it wrong so far. Enjoy your salt gents, I do.
Not really, but I will have Campbell's tomato with grilled cheese once in a while. I can make better soup, including tomato, than I can get from a can.

No doubt.
Remember when they and Dr.βs all said butter was bad. Use margarine instead. π€ͺ or eggs were bad for ya. π€ͺ
Basically the same crowd now saying everyone must take the Covid Vaccine.
Most anything cold out of a can by the Chef is GTG cold. They really should attatch a plastic spoon or spork to each can for convenience.

Their Beef Ravioli is da bomb. Iβd take it over canned soup any day and twice on Sunday.
But I do prefer it hot to cold out of the can. Bout the only cold food I like is canned pork & beans. Use a Ruffles potato chip for a spoon. No dishes to wash. π¬

The calorie count or value is an non issue and I ignore it. What you want to count and pay attention to are carbs and added sugar and your daily sodium intake. The rest honestly is irrelevant. Insulin management is really what a person needs for health and low or no sugar helps reduce cancers but sugar is the biggest concern and culprit.
