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.
This is a CLEARLY marked vanity. No one asked you to open it and read it. You chose to.
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.
Cavemen didn't eat it.
Sea salt contains potassium and magnesium chlorides which
tast bitter
Acid + Base -> Salt + Water.
HCL + NaOH -> NaCl + H20.
HCL + KOH -> KCl + H20.
And so on. NaCl, KCl are two types of salts, and they all have the same characteristics. Any Alkaline metal plus a halogen.
So ‘low sodium’ simply means switching Na for K.
I’ve been using sea salt for years. I just tastes better, IMHO. To me, it not as sharp, and seems to have a broader, deeper, flavor. I never knew it was a left/right issue.
I know, they’re just now catching on. We’ve been using Hain sea salt since the early 70’s.
No wonder my cats won't eat it.
Pepper Pot? Sounds like a load of tripe.
Ever since I retired, I like to sit on the front porch in my bathrobe and curse and shake my fist at teenage drivers. I guess we get this way because of lack of sex.
Let's see how long it takes Campbell Soup's management to recognize its mistake publicly, apologize to it's devoted customers and rescind it's version of the Ford Edsel and New Coke. If they don't, they should be cashiered and directed to someplace like the Episcopal Church where dysfunctional tweakers with orthodoxy are given preeminence.
PS. Salt is salt (NaCl), whether from the sea or somewhere else. Sea salt just has a lot of other crap from the ocean in it to give flavor and mystery. Low salt diets probably aren't prescribed to load their adherents up with high levels of unspecified “everything else”. Besides, I'm told the difference in sodium content between sea salt and ordinary salt is marginal at best.
Isn't that awful? Your mouth gets already for a favorite taste and Blech! LOL
Nope. See post 27.
“I don?t get how adding sea salt to Campbell?s soup is some kind of leftist salt assault”
Like I said before. I like a course ground salt for a meat rub. I could give a rats ass about Campbells. There soup is too salty. We are talking soup here. Doesn’t take a genious to make soup. You can’t screw it up. Unless of course you add too much salt.
Making split pea right now with smoked pork neck. Smells glorious. :o)
No offense last night. :o)
Thank you!
that's what he said.
Thank you for the tip! My Grandpa and I used to eat it. Nobody else liked it but us. We put bread in it too. :-)
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? I wish Melba had asked me about it; I would have given them an everlasting earful.
Hubby didn't get cabbage!
Happy New Year to you too! :-)
