We don't eat a lot of processed food because I'm a good cook and I'm thrifty but half the people in the country have never even had a homemade soup.

I'm with you.

I've basically taught myself how to cook things like homemade soup because I never had it as a kid....soup always came out of a can. I admit that when I'm sick I still crave, and eat, Campbell's Chicken Noodle, but for the most part I make all of our soups.........and I do it in a 20 quart stock pot and then freeze it.

Like you I'm a pretty good cook, and I actually enjoy doing it and so make time to do it. But there are also times when I'm not in the mood, and so that is why I always make sure I've got plenty of stuff already in the freezer that just needs to be defrosted and heated.

Mmmmm. Homemade soup.

I'm making a big pot of cream of cauliflower soup right now. My son just walked in and asked me, 'What stinks?' I guess I better be coming up with an alternative meal for him tonight. :)
