My husband bought me some of my favorite soup, Campbell's Cream of Potato. My mouth got all ready and I sipped the first spoon. I spit it back in the bowl. It tasted TERRIBLE! I thought it was spoiled. Nope. Now! With Sea Salt Added! If I wanted sea salt I'd go float in the ocean!
I just discovered that they've done the same to Vegetarian Vegetable. No more Campbell's soup for me. And I wrote them to tell them where they can stick their sea salt! I don't buy Healthy Choice soups because they taste awful. So they are now going to force their idea of healthy on consumers? The left is taking over everything and forcing their ideas on us. I'm really angry. They stick their nose in every aspect of our lives.
I guess I'll just have to make my own.
Interesting, thank you. I wonder is it all created by evaporation, none of it is mined in bulk? I’ve seen all kinds of sea salts touting where they were derived from, sometimes it looks like the container is full of salt and dirt.
” I think what your are missing from the Campbell’s soup you tried was the MSG. Mono sodium glutamate, a flavor enhancer that made your taste buds think it tasted good. I noticed on a couple of types of C. soup that MSG appeared to be missing.”
I love MSG. I purposely have containers of it. Good stuff. The negative effects have been proven to be false. That’s so 80’s...
What I'm upset with is liberal control! Even over my SOUP!
As for Campbell's soups, I stopped buying their tomato years ago when they started adding too much sugar to it. Nowadays I keep a few cans of their bean -n- bacon soup on hand just in case we have a (rare) winter storm that outs my power and I have to cook outside on the camp stove.
Progresso USED to have bacon in their lentil soup. They took it out. Hubby makes an excellent lentil WITH bacon. Yum!
Mmmm. Makes me yearn for that Campbell’s Potato soup with sulfuric acid added.
NObody told you to open a CLEARLY MARKED VANITY. You don’t like it? DON”T READ IT!
Warhol was weird! lol
Can't be too far from civilisation if you don't know how to make soup.
The entire construction oversight team would starve where I work if I didn't travel with my 6 qt crock pot.
Dump everything in, cover with the desired liquid and let 'er rip for 24 hrs.
Soup's On!
It's 9 degrees outside and I can't find a fresh fruit bat anywhere.
I use sea salt too. It’s about the only salt we have around the house. Maybe my taste buds are just not as sensitive as some folks, but I have never really noticed that much of a difference between different types of salt. It all just tastes salty to me.
My dear old dad, long gone, was using sea salt 40 years ago. Nothing new here, just a new marketing gimmick.
And remember, our body needs iodized salt.
I don't eat it often. And I have low blood pressure. I don't even use much salt when I cook. I just expect it to taste like salt. LOL
And I hate the idea of the left forcing THEIR choices on the rest of us.
That's where the words SALARY and SOLDIER come from.
Why does this conjure up images of the First Lady?
I don't. I expected a certain taste and it was totally different And Mayo Clinic says sea salt isn't any healthier.
My biggest complaint is the left even controlling our food for "our own good". When that's even a lie.
I started using sea salt after a whole summer of my feet and ankles swelling because of too much sodium in my diet. Now I can still have the flavor of salt..but without the water retention. Works for me...the problem with canned soups is that they have reduced the salt altogether on top of replacing it with sea salt. What you get is bland soup...get the shaker out and put some more on..problem solved.
I didn't even try that. It makes it taste right?
Time-Saver Tip: Save a step - there's a Norwegian smoked sea salt.
(Yes, evaporation takes place in a "smoke house". According to Alton Brown, anyway.)
