Best canned soup?

**Lone Star** · 12-01-2007, 09:50 PM

Just realized the heater in my room gets hot enough to warm up soup pretty well. What's your favorite?

**skikola** · 12-01-2007, 09:51 PM

**dtrey28** · 12-01-2007, 10:03 PM

best canned soup I have ever had hands down

**skikola** · 12-01-2007, 10:21 PM

progresso chicken and wild rice, chicken and barely, chicken noodle, beef vegetable, roasted chicken rotini, beef and vegetable, grilled steak.....i've found all these out of their traditional soups to be tasty.
the chicken and homestyle noodle out of the rich and hearty line is also particularly good

My local market had a sale for a few weeks on progresso so I bought one and liked it. Then bought a bunch more. After eating it a few times I noticed this weird metallic taste on my tongue for like 8 hours afterwards, pretty weird and scary chemicals duder. And the sodium in those cans is off the charts, even for me, an admitted saltoholic.

I have a new organic market by me. Might have to look for some non toxic alternatives.

That said, I like minestrone and chicken barley.

I've never had a problem with progresso, though I never really ate it that much. Might have to look and try something else next time I feel like soup.....

I don't mind using my camp stove to cook outside my window but when it's snowing or windy it's a pretty big pain in the ass. Canned soup = only option for hot food.

Wolfgang's soups are really friggen' good. My favorite is probably the Italian Wedding.

Other than that, good ol' Campbell's tomato soup is the shit. You can do a lot with it. Use different spices each time to mix it up. Mix it with water or milk depending on how you feel. Use more or less of those to thin or thicken it up. A squeeze of lemon can zest it up if you like. It's super versatile and always yummy.

Excepting, of course, your wife.

Which I only say to save your ass in case she stalks you here.

She clearly tastes better than her soup.

Campbel's beef with country vegetables and some ritz crackers is a meal.

If I'm not starving, Progresso Chicken with wild rice is always good.

Or the ALMIGHTY COMBO of Campbell's tomato soup and a couple of grilled cheese samwiches always rules.

**rideit** · 12-01-2007, 11:15 PM

Grilled cheese with white bread, and muenster?
Or Cheddar?
Or white american?

This is IMPO-TANT stuff here, MAN!

Dude,
Butter,
Arnolds or Pepperidge farm white bread
American for sure.
Cast iron skillet

Melt butter, dip top bread in melted butter, put aside. Put bottom bread in remaining butter, put cheese on, put top bread back on butter side out.

Let it cook a bit, turn it over and SQUISH THE SHIT OUT OF IT.

Turn it over after a while and SQUISH THE SHIT OUT OF IT.

You end up with nice thin grilled cheese samwiches. Crispy melty gooey goodness.

(If you have some nice ham and some decent mustard, use them too. But then you should use some nice cheddar, and it's a whole different thing.)

Don't forget the Ritz crackers crumbled up in the soup.

and some tabasco.

available in wild oats.

also, Progresso's tomato basil or hearty tomato kicks campbell's ass with a grilled cheese. (pepperjack+ tomato slices)
skiguide adds feta or fresh mozzerella to the soup sometimes too.

**Sirshredalot** · 12-02-2007, 12:18 AM

Dammit. Reading that made me really hungry for the good ol' tomato soup and grilled cheese. I'm going to have to load up on that goodness next time I go to the store. It's definitely soup weather right now.

We'll have to agree to disagree. I'm sure I'd love what you're cooking up. But listen: Fancy-ass tomato-basil and pepperjack and whatever the fuck has it's place, but it's not the same thing. Rock on with your gourmet soup and sammy, but it ain't what I'm talking about.

Grilled cheese and tomato soup. That's what I'm talking about.

Have I ever told you how much I love you?

**bagtagley** · 12-02-2007, 02:48 AM

Grilled cheese = white bread + American cheese + butter. There are some minor exceptions, but not many. Anything else is a cheese sandwich that's been fried.

Amy's Black Bean soup is the shit, and low in sodium...which just means it needs a lot of salt added (and a healthy dose of Aleppo Pepper). That w/ a cheese sandwich is damn good stuff.
