Eh. Sauteed in olive oil with bacon and onions is my favorite way of eating them. I never did like GBC as a kid. Or yams. Blech.

Honestly, it's highly likely that I put as much sodium in my food that I made from scratch as manufacturers do in commercially prepared stuff, so that's not really my soap box. I just like homemade better and it's usually cheaper if I have the time.

But, clearly, many others do, as evidenced by grocery stores moving pallets and pallets of the ingredients through during holidays. I'm sure Campbell's does quite well this time of year, on ingredient sales, even though their condensed "eating" soups are not doing great in general.

Campbell's is the "premium" brand of soup, and we're in a recession right now with Millennials the hardest hitl

Also, as for making your own soup, who got time for 'dat? Better to load up on the cheapest generic brand of soup on a store sale.

Progresso is ok, but have you looked at what the liquid looks like when you open the can not that appealing.

Actaully, once you know how to do it - soup is really easy to make, it takes some preplanning but most of the cooking time is unattended.

Plus - I figure I get the time "back" since in our house , I only cook every other night. I really enjoy the alternate nights when we're just reheating a prepared meal that I feel is healthy for my family.

It is nice to have on a cold winter night. We stock up during sales. No way would I pay full retail for Campbells.

All this talk about soup has inspired me to make a split-pea, carrot and potato soup with fresh herbs.

Yep, most of the soups I make are good to go in a slow cooker...beyond putting the ingredients in and turning it on, and letting it go, it requires nothing of me. There are far fussier meals to make, but soup can be made while you're at work or school, easy.
