Campbell's Soup Rant (angry vanity)
Me | Jan1, 2011 | DJMacWoW

Posted on 01/01/2011 10:36:34 AM PST by DJ MacWoW

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.

Check post 27. Sea salt does taste different.

The new “low sodium” soups do not last very long, the use-by dates make them useless for long term emergency storage supplies.

Modern canning took off when it was discovered that by adding SALT to the pot, the temperature of the boiling mixture substantially increases; I read about this many years ago, and don’t remember all the details, but I never buy low-sodium cans of ANYTHING -— I don’t trust the canning process and I know that they HAVE to be consumed much sooner than the old-fashioned sodium-enriched variety.

We put bread in it too. :-)

I like putting cubed garlic bread in creamed soups... *broccoli,potato,asparagus*

It tastes different to me...maybe because I’m older and not as easily “tricked” by the taste. It tastes “sharp” to me and much stronger. I only use it to salt the wate for macaroni...until its’ all gone...then I’ll never buy it again.

So you are all upset over soup?

At least the Chinese aren’t around bayonetting anything that moves.
No tornadoes came last week and ripped your roof off and stole your stove.
You’re not in a hospital with your jaw wired shut, or unconscious in a coma being fed hospital food by a tube..

Soup, eh?

Kinda just teasing you. I know what you mean when they just change things all the sudden and you have been a faithful consumer for a long time. “New and Improved” can really mean “cheaper to produce”.

The one that gets me is when you used to get a pound of something, all the sudden, it’s in a 14.5 oz box.

Just a tip. If I find something I really like, I generally try to stock up on it. Sometimes I see those DAK canned hams on sale and I don’t buy just one, heck, I’ll buy six at once!

Yup. Me, too. I order Celtic Sea Salt. It goes a long way because you don’t have to use as much and has minerals in it. I do take an organic iodine supplement because it’s not iodized, but I would think the sea salt should have iodine in it already.

You miss the point...it doesn't make any difference what you like or don't like...it is the overt supervision by some anonymous bureaucrat (or not so anonymous one: Mayor Blumberg, for example) or FLOUS (I hate to use that term, it is very deceptive!) that is objectionable to many of us. IOW, to the Government Nannies: keep you hands off our salt!

Muawiyah, wasn't there a recent uproar on the gluten-free boards about Campbell's soups --- for the longest time they had only 2 soups labeled "gluten-free" and then suddenly NONE of their soups claimed to be gluten free.... and I think I read that Campbells had to enlist the help of some Celiac association or something....

Consequently, I'd never consider buying ANYTHING by Campbell's - I consider them to be concerned about what their labels look like, and NOT the nutrition of their product. I was shocked when I read the ingredients of one of their "Southwestern Cuisine Special Soups" -- it was ALL chemicals, unpronouncible chemicals, over an inch of them in tiny print.

And..... how can all the chemists at a major U.S. food corporation have NO understanding of what GLUTEN is???

I'll never knowingly purchase anything by them.

I have sea salt and regular salt I am going to check it later and I'll let you know. Look on the can and see if it contains MSG. I stopped eating Campbells years ago. When I saw the healthy label I checked out the the ingredients and MSG was missing. I still didn't buy any.

I read it to verify what you were sooooo upset about—and I still can’t believe it. I’ve not had any of the new sea salt offerings, as I don’t normally cook with salt anyway. But I would think there would be the original label Campbell’s soup that has the normal sodium in it. Why not buy that instead?

You wonder if they tested the change on control groups before they switched. If so, where did they find ***anybody*** who likes that icky flavor?

Homeless people? LOL

I wish Melba had asked me about it; I would have given them an everlasting earful.

I don't know as it's about marketing what people want anymore. I look at some of the glop that people buy and think "Do they REALLY LIKE that?" Everything is fast food. Nobody bakes from scratch anymore. Young women think baking from scratch is a cake mix from a box. I make Bisquick biscuits for my daughter and she eats them for breakfast. My grandmother's recipe. Can soup is only a "once in awhile" convenience and a remembered taste.

But as the generation before me, my parents etc, die off, they are changing foods. And younger people are buying boxes of everything. Quite honestly my bowels don't like box foods.

I couldn’t remember your ID, but check my response to humblegunner on the issue you raised. Others say, oh this is small potatoes...no, it reflects what this bunch of clowns want to effect in every part of our lives...look at what has happened in 2 years!

Those would be called croutons....A little bit of elegance in the old days.

Bear Creek soups are good.

Where is the government connection?

Maybe they are just upgrading their salt.
They likely did taste tests and more folks liked the sea salt version.

The writer of the original post cries about government intervention
but what proof is there of that? They changed salt types.

This has to be something sinister?

From the Mayo Clinic, the top researchers in this area.

“However, researchers have found no definitive evidence of a link between MSG and these symptoms. Researchers acknowledge, though, that a small percentage of people may have short-term reactions to MSG. Symptoms are usually mild and don’t require treatment. The only way to prevent a reaction is to avoid foods containing MSG”

Maybe the food is so yummy, people get excited.

I make my own soups also. Chunky creamy tomato (from the recipe from the now closed 4B’s restaurant in MT), vegetable, vegetable beef, and corn chowder. I’m not very good at chicken soups yet so I buy Wolfgang Puck Organic for that when it’s on sale. I don’t put salt in my soups as they are tasty enough without it when you make it yourself from fresh ingredients, I think. My daughters add salt to my vegetable soups though.

Oh geeze. Dirt? LOL Yum!

It's the old New Coke bait and switch formula.

Soon they'll be back with classic Campbells. Of course it will taste different.

Thank You Satan 1:50 Uhhhbummuhh.
