I gave up on canned soup...they simply do not taste good...or even healthy. The only one that is still ok is the Campbell’s tomato soup (eaten with saltines).....and maybe cream of celery or mushroom for recipes.

The problem can be solved by making your own. I devote a day once in awhile to making homemade soup. There are a million recipes out there. My homemade chili is the favorite around here. Canned chili tastes like dog food. Takes me a day, but I make a huge pot and freeze in containers. Matzoh ball soup takes two days, but is worth it. Chicken and turkey vegetable are very good.

Homemade vegetable soup is fantastic.....just throw in all vegetables on hand...fresh and/or frozen, a can or two of tomatoes (Hunts), Knorr boullion to taste...I use beef or vegetable, bay leaf, salt, pepper, maybe a dash of hot pepper sauce, and a few spoons or more of ketchup...yes, ketchup...it really adds a nice flavor as I like the soup to have a slight tangy tomato taste. Simmer at least 2-3 hours. Better the next day. You’ll never want canned soup again. You can make enough to freeze in small containers to last all winter.

No wonder my cats won't eat it.
