Soup is so easy to make. Plus you make a big pot of it and have leftovers or freeze it. I have not bought a can of soup in ages.
I make a can of soup if I'm in a hurry or sick. Or being lazy. :-)
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.
